Apologies once more to PoetBayers for submitting a personal poem
onto the bay....the poem is self explanatory...It's for my wife Jeanne


JANUARY 29, 2009


The Calendar insists you're now eighty
Born in the year nineteen twenty nine
Yet you've maintained all your grand gaiety
From when you were a young seventy-nine

How you manage to do it
Only heaven knows
You're a loving laugh a minute
For Stan, your loving beau

All those years before this one
Were merely dress rehearsals
The fun in life has just begun
For Stans' Miss Universe-al

Happy birthday and three cheers to
Our newest Octogenarian
There is no doubt you're our family glue
And our future Centenarian

What are you apologizing for?!
You make me feel all my poetbay poems are pathetically personal!!
This is an amazing tribute to a loved person.
It's surprising how such precision with rhyme can only be handled when in love :)
