Happy Thirty-First, Jamie! Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

There once was a pretty smart shrink
who loved lollies and licorice pink.
She was sure that all foods
would create cranky moods
so she gave them a nudge and a wink.

I was going to take her some flowers
But I'm working such crazy long hours
and she sleeps until noon
like a Disney cartoon.
Wishing fathers had many more powers.

So I wish you a wonderful day
and some fragrant ones in a bouquet.
Have a moderate nip
and steer straight with your ship
ask a Wombat if lost on the way.
