Happy 80th Birthday (a poem)
For Moristotle
Welcome to the other side of 80.
The water is about the same,
but not as deep.
Life has been enjoyable,
and enlightening.
You know how they said don’t burn your candle at both ends?
I think I’m on about my third candle.
Why, bless you, dear Ed, five days my elder brother! Our mothers are lucky they weren't the same woman.
ReplyDeleteExcellent verse--time for the Roger birthday card publishing house.
