Thank you for a pleasant outing at the Collegeville Diner

(earlier this January 18th, 2019 belatedly
to acknowledge my LX birthday.)

Mine eldest sister
as I continue in the circle game
of life, (ye dear Amelie
McGeehan) darling dame
a modestly lofty poem I aim

to dash off (while riding away
high in the sky - belay
ying at Macht shnel blazing
saddles laser optic speed

in a white horse open sleigh),
and plaudits of course
without moment's delay,
your husband Richard,

one hunger re
chap, who wolfed
down his entree
(who introduced me

to fictitious song
titled Richard, Cory),
plus Harris patriarch Boyce aye
aver as gregarious soon tub be

a nonagenarian papa,
also one grand dad dee
glad this sole son did see
our father (thou wart tin...)

maintains sharp mental
a cue witty,
which does not mean he
willoughby immortal

till et tern knit tee
since the gradual
onset of death I bee
leave actually begins at

birth, but whee
ving and bobbing
(like a sponge at sea)
waves each person

closer to thee
cosmic creator, or re:
incarnate tid (three
times a day) tis key

unless otherwise specified
(if questionable issue at stake,
sans not so ease zee
as apple pie with gray vee),

hence power of attorney
in demand, cuz
this brother-hood
generated bupkis,

and made prithee
coon fuse, nary a whit,
asper executor signed...
yours True Lee!
