Oops!

There once was a man who wrote a poem.
He never really intended to show’em
that his birthday was now…
but they thought somehow
that the poem was a
statement of
fact.

So he wrote a silly, awkward verse
in order to somehow gently reverse
the confusion he caused
when he announced to all
that his birthday was
the 20th of
June.

To set the record completely straight
on the 16th of August I’ll be 78
but thanks dear friends
as I try to amend
the poem that
started all
this.

Thanks for all you had to say
but remember: today is YOUR birth-day.
When the sun peaks out in the morning sky
enjoy your day and really try
to live it with joy
and thanks!
