Seventy and Counting A couple hours into seventy Sitting here at quarter to two Doing what I always do My heart and soul, think YOU! Drank a few at the “V” And sang some karaoke Bought a round for the house Because, it was, our Birthday. Had Rodger come by And, take off my cover When they played, for all those lost In the stupidity of war. So many, die so young To, keep the fat cats rich And every war-monger Is, a SON-OF-A-BITCH. Like all those we keep voting in Because, we don’t have the guts To say, what we really think We think they have us by the nuts! But, our Country was founded By those who, saw the light And, they kinda knew What was wrong and what was right. We have no one to blame it on Except us, when we go to the polls Why we do it, to ourselves I’m sure, nobody knows! Well, back to my Birthday I’m amazed, each early morn When I face another day Since, the one I was born. Been working like a mule And, surprise myself at how I do things I used to But, I’m still doing ‘em now. Much love, to all who read this (from where words come, I know not?) And sometimes, these words I write Seem to be, all I’ve got. Listening to the “Eagles” Sing, “The Best of my Love” And Andrea, I love you I swear to (if there is) God above!

Happy Birthday, dear Del "Abe" Jones! We have the right to ponder on our birthdays I think and you do so very well. It's good to hear you are in good shape. May divine blessings shower you abundantly, on this special day and all those to come! A heart full of love is never alone. Thank you! Love, Margherita |
