 It's birthday day for Balladeer And now we are all gathered here Let's drink a toast to this 'ol' guy And if you like him, tell him why He has a way, one of its kind To bring some laughter to my mind The words he chooses, flow in rhyme And always I loose track of time The victims of his little wits Were torn to pieces bits by bits Teasing sailor Long John Ag With humor and a little nag And Toereg, well when he's in sight It is the Deer's full joy and pride Presenting him like no good at all Then on the blue pages it is ball First row seats they are spoken for Because these games we all adore Popcorn's flowing forth and back While eyes follow the hits by Mack The others hit too, quite well some times All neatly packed in humorous rhymes One minor point I must mention here The popcorn is getting my belly fat Deer So I blame you for it Balladeer But still you get some knuffels here  It's been a while so hurry back Hurray, Hurray for Michael Mack (Er....65 was it not???  )HAPPY BIRTHDAY MACK Like scattered leaves...my words will flow [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (08-18-2002 09:56 AM).] |

Titia darling heart this is absolutely fabulous writing I love it utterly, you’ve given him a fabulous poem which fits him since he is a very special man one of the good and the great. Once again dear ‘Deer I hope you’ve had a splendiferous birthday, I’ve certainly enjoyed all the poems that I’ve read wishing you a good one. And you KNOW I wish you the very very best. Beautiful writing Titia really excellent. The time is moving on wonderful isn’t it…… See you soon   Love and warm stuff as always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire Thy coolness and they balm Let sense be dumb let flesh retire Speak through the earthquake wind and fire [This message has been edited by Marsha (08-18-2002 07:28 PM).] |

65, Titia, my Dutchie pal? 65? LOL! Thanks for taking me to retirement age so easily! Thanks you for the wonderful poem, Titia, and to all for the gracious responses. Hopefully many more birthdays will be spent right here with my poetic friends...there's no place I'd rather be |
