    bithday silliness

    Dear Dad I tried to think of a word that would rhyme
    with your advancing age, which is forty
    But try as I might all that came to my mind
    was the inaccurate descriptive of 'shorty'

    But don't be depressed
    You're not getting old!
    (Although if you were cheese, you now would be mold)
    But if you were wine, you'd be in your prime

    So happy birthday to you,
    from your 4th kid Sue!


    written for my Dad's 40th birthday, March 1979

    Not so silly to dad, I'm sure. To enjoy a birthday rhyme from your child can be lovely and divine.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
