A Birthday Poem for Jay_lo
Sing it high, sing it low
Sing it as you tie a bow
Shout it from the tops of trees,
or bubble it from below the seas.
Sing it in unison or all alone,
gather as a group outside his home.
Thank his mother for giving him birth
along with his father from whom he
inherited mirth.
Thank the doctor who cut his cord.
Hold hands and praise the Lord
for giving us an amazing man
who shares his poetry throughout our land.
He makes us smile, he makes us think,
he writes poetry quick as a wink.
He's kind, he's good, he's funny -
If he wasn't married he'd be MY honey!
So now it's time to say the words,
but words alone are for the birds.
For none can ever truly express
his humor, laugher, or tenderness.
A simple, 'Happy Birthday, Jay_lo!'
must suffice, many happy returns, now kiss your wife!

Thank you all for birthday wishes
From Beatles, Chipmunks, Wormy Bitches
Poems that come deep from the heart
Thank you all for taking part
You don't know
How much I care
That you all took
Some time to share
A little of yourselves
This way
To wish for me
A special day
Ronda sweetheart
Schula too
Roe so good
To hear from you
Rockchalker, Camper
Lovelane_1
Thanks for sharing
In the fun
My birthday wish
I hope comes true
To someday
Meet with all of you
Kontum thanks
For comments sweet
You too I hope
Someday to meet
The greatest joy
Of life to live
Is to meet new friends
With much to give
For if alone
Man passes years
Then birthdays bring
Nothing but tears
But if with friends
Both old and new
He shares his time
He's never blue
With one more year
Upon the shelf
My friends mean more
Than life itself
They fill my life
Complete the plan
Bring tears of joy
To this old man
Thank you all so very much for being a part of my life and touching my heart!

Beachlady please yourself include
In the thankfulness I did exude
Your Reggae wishes were a treat
My first birthday tune with a Reggae beat
Thanks for passing
It along
I truly did enjoy
The song!
Beachlady (anonymous) says…

Hung over today
Birthday boy, Jay?
Aren't you glad it's only once a year
When you drink that entire keg of beer? :)
And, yes, I'm able to sign in again. Thanks, Jonathan!
Jay_lo (anonymous) says…
No hangover
Throbbing head
Arise at Four
So early bed
Work on birthday
No day of rest
Party postpone
Is the best
Different answer
Sunday morn though
Cause Saturday night
The beer will flow
Will tap a keg
Party with friends
When beer runs out
The party ends
Yes birthday come
Just once a year
Still no way I drink
Whole keg of beer!!!
justbegintowrite (Ronda Miller) says…
I'm glad you're well
I'm glad you're fine
Good you'll party another time
Wish you lived much closer
I'd love to be your neighbor
To pass out in your yard after the kegger
Hope presents you still are getting
But birthday week makes more fun bash
As long as your house you do not trash
