Come Sup! Glug Cups o' Cheer!
Come Celebrate my 50 year!
Spring springs & I sprung
Mad March Hare I am
A March 29 - er
A 1966 - er
A RAM!
9.30
o'
morn born,
Chinese Fire Horse
(luckily not dispatched at birth)
Galloping toward the 10th April 2016
The Day I be A Half Century 13 day old Has-Been.

Oh!

Too bleak, too moribund methinks.......
Perchance then A To Be Had ?
- mmm sounds not bad
Or A Been
to Be?
Oh!
To Be
A Been
or Not to Be !

The Question: Have I done aught I ought?
Or nowt & nought? Can I ride The
Curling Tide beyond? What do
I bequeath behind? Is
there still
TIME?
Oh! whatnot nat-thwot notwhat what...!

Is 50 Year
The Ending?
The M i d d l e ?
A Resurrection of Sorts?
The Beginning?



Enough
o' this nonsensical,
belly-goggling, mortal-koff stuff!
How paltry be we compared wi' A Universe.
Yet, I say again with glee, my chums
Come celebrate this day
A Birthday!
POP!



MINE!

Come Scoff, Come Play,
Come Bop away an afternoon….
I’d love to see you very soon.
Oh good friends,
Let's have a ball
I raise a glass
SKOL
to ye all!

*for his poetic inspiration
I salute a man,
one William Topaz McGonagall
(like me) Dundee born
and renowned by all in town for being perhaps,
despite his charms,
the worst darn poet in all the land.
