Being an off-the-cuff(could have been worse) birthday verse for
Miss Tara
****
Well, for what
it’s worth
it’s your day
of birth
& you’ve kept
true to yourself
(true grit)
always making sure that
your skirts are too short
& your hair too blonde
but what
the heck
that’s just
you.
And you
the master (& mistress) of words
telling them
what’s what
& what
they should do
& the words
(being good little words)
do exactly what you tell them to do.
And not only can you
make a good point
but put away
a pint
quicker than one can say:
“Tara McHale...this is your life! ”
But hey(as I say)
that’s just you
& we all love
the you that you do.
As Scarlet O’ Hara
(not to be confused with
that sweet Miss Treat)
proclaimed in the final frame:
“There’s always Tara! ”
And as for
birthdays?
Let’s let her
also have the final say:
“I won’t think about it today
I’ll think about it
...tomorrow! ”
Hear hear! Or is it here here? ? ? Good one Donall and Many Happy Big Ones for Tara... HG: -) xx
