he's grumpy, jealous and stubborn

my father's latest girlfriend
calls me
and tells me
that my dad is grumpy
and jealous,
and very stubborn.
he gets mad at her when
she's sick
and can't visit.
he's jealous that she goes
to a funeral
every week for her male 
friends
that have passed on.
it's interfering with their
weekly rendezvous.
stubborn, i say with a laugh.
really? you've got to be
kidding me, right?
he'll be 96 in two weeks.
nothing has changed
since the day he was born.
get used to it, or
move on.
