Kickass, the doorstop dog, notes the keeper has been overexposed to poetry during recent days, and submitted the following on the occasion of great-granddaughter Blaize’s first birthday:
BLAIZE IS ONE,
WELL, SUN-OF-A-GUN
LET’S ALL PARTY AND HAVE SOME FUN.
BLAIZE IS ONE
AND WE LOVE HER A TON
SHE’S WALKING NOW AND SOON WILL RUN
BLAIZE IS ONE
90 YEARS SHORT OF ME
I WISH HER WELL, NOW I’VE GOT TO PEE.
BLAIZE IS ONE, NOT YET DIAPER FREE.
I HOPE SUCH THINGS AREN’T COMING FOR ME.
IN 90 YEARS BLAIZE WILL BE NINETY-ONE
THE REST OF US WILL BE DONE DONE DONE.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE BLAIZE
THIS IS YOUR DAY
WE HONOR YOU ON THIS 6TH OF MAY!
