Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Dad's Secret

"The Brady Bunch," hit T.V. show

Of the 1970's that

Family viewers came to know

In a warm, loving habitat.

But Dad was in the closet gay.

Mom and others in show knew this.

If public knew, would end bad way,

Cancellation, this show of bliss.

So Dad and Mom and others would

Not divulge Dad's secret, so be

A run for the show, pretty good,

As a squeaky clean family.

Finale stuff, Dad fumed about,

So the show's bosses wrote Dad out.
