Deadbeat Dad in a Saffron Toga

Prince Siddhartha Gautama, you did something bad

People call you "Buddha" but you’re also a Deadbeat dad

you wanted to focus on your spiritual life

so you ditched Yosadhara, your hot lactating wife

you also left Rahula, your newborn only son

you thought navel-gazing would be much more fun

you stayed away for six long years

while your family wiped its tears 

You snuck out of your castle

'cause family life's a hassle

you became a gone Gautama

in the jungle with your lamas

eating veggies, doing yoga

Buddha, here's my gripe

‘bout you getting all the hype

Buddha!  You got peace and bliss

while I slept in puddles of infant piss!  

you became a holy guru

while I cleaned up stinky boo-boo

you got your nirvana

while baby barfed up on my neck, 

green peas and banana

Siddhartha - you got famous - 26 million hits on Google

while I lost a thousand nights of sleep, my brain's a stupid noodle

Buddha you discovered the 8-Fold Path

but as a Pop - you're a lazy ass

you ran away because you're frightened

now we say you're so enlightened

what a heel

jumping off the parent wheel

Slacker-Pappy

gone Gautama

got nirvana

but still you’re just a bad

Deadbeat Dad
