Challenge of the Week LXXXVIII
Persuasive Writing. Continuing on the success of last week's challenge, we tackle persuasive writing. You can write about anything you want, poetry or Prose, but you must be persuasive. Perhaps it's an essay. Perhaps a point of view. Perhaps an unpopular belief. Whatever it is, persuade us.

Daddy Will You?

Daddy, will you teach me how to play chess?

So I can play with you

No, girls are not smart enough to learn to play chess

Oh

Daddy, will you teach me how to play golf?

So I can play with you

No, I would be too embarrassed to be seen with you

Oh

Daddy will you go swimming with us?

So I can play with you

No, can't you see I'm exhausted from our jog around the block

Oh

Dad I need some money for a special sweater for school

So I can fit in and be like the others

No, You think I'm just a cash register to punch

Oh

Oh

It's Father's Day

So I ripped up the card which had sat on my dresser

Since I chose to separate from him three years previous

Dad, I did not grow up just like you

I am kind, accepting, caring

And I heal

Rather than hurt

No

I did not grow up anything like you

And I grew up without you

Even though we lived in the same house
