Now we know the truth. Your daughter writes all your poems and you put your name on them.
Ooops ... did I type that out loud?
Clearly, the two of you have a similar style. Or, it could be that the poem is patterned after one of the few Whitman poems that actually had a rhyme scheme, and some semblance of meter. She did well. And the two of you obviously have a great relationship, of which the two should be proud.
Father and daughter, like mink and otter,
Have values much the same.
The mink her fur, the otter his bite
Complement each by name.
