“He Wrote the History Book,” It Said

There! You shed a ray
  of whimsicality on a mask of profundity so
  terrific that I have been dumbfounded by
it oftener than I care to say.
  The book? Titles are chaff.

Authentically
  brief and full of energy, you contribute to your father’s
  legibility and are sufficiently
synthetic. Thank you for showing me
  your father’s autograph.
