    “The thing to remember about fathers is, they’re men.
    A girl has to keep it in mind:
    They are dragon-seekers, bent on improbable rescues.
    Scratch any father, you find
    Someone chock-full of qualms and romantic terrors,
    Believing change is a threat—
    Like your first shoes with heels on, like your first bicycle
    It took such months to get.”
    —Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
