Excellence Award in the 'Top Secret 2016' competition

You think dads look ordinary wearing shorts, thongs and tees
But you are actually wrong
When there is a mission to complete
They turn around and become superheros
In the super uniforms, with ties and belts
In nice black shoes, black jackets and sunglasses.
Oh and don’t forget small ear phones they wear on the day!
They quickly run, follow the target and they are super strong.
But just before they hit the target
Your mum wakes you up
And undercover dads on their special missions
Just turn to be a dream.
