Marvelous mitzvah "munchkin" minted

rew4er2nail

Thy eldest daughter Eden Liat

treasured more'n a pearl

(otherwise known as Rapunzel)...

donated cut hair to charity - you go girl,

ha, whereat your fine brunette locks of love

will be repurposed into wigs for kids,

and perhaps even don kepi

of trumpeting Bullwinkle, his Sciuridae

friend named Rocket J. Squirrel,

and/or his nemesis Natasha Fatale.

 

Kudos to thee savvy

twenty three plus year old offspring

voluntarily unwittingly hood

amazingly gracefully support

exhausting, flagging, grueling...

stricken young spirits and bring

joie de vivre during

treatment and convalescence

of challenging treatment ailing,

perhaps hoop fully nipping

terminal illness in bud

beaten into remission,

whereby family, friends medical staff sing

ode to joy cherishing

nothing short of a blessing.

 

Said sensible, smart and

stalwart inadvertent mentor,

a splendidly mirthful and mindful lass

yes, tis biased opinion, quite a

truckload of abilities she did amass

even fending bullies who tried to harass

attractive petite proportionate physique

confident smile shown back

courtesy looking glass

and papa cognizant,

how her art of humbleness

helped her succeed as top class

high achiever at Harriton High School,

especially acing rigorous

International Baccalaureate (IB)

(worldwide, nonprofit education program


plus even when just a little girl

attending Belmont Elementary

promise of success,

my feeble accomplishments

"star student" did quickly surpass

with flying colors earned free pass

concomitantly acquiring invisible


magic ring, and carpet made of brass

the latter powered by

Walt Whitman wrought leaves of grass

at University of Pennsylvania

earning stripes as Ivy League graduate

freelance activist while completing

internship linkedin with

University of Southern California.

 

Spellbound birth father

internally rejoices ta deum,

we knew e'er since Eden Liat

healthy growing fetus within the womb

whip smart progeny

undoubtedly healthy unbridled maturation,

I vicariously exalt storied accomplishments

accrediting and applauding

every iota offspring earned

blood, sweat and tears

created deafening sonic boom,

and where infinitesimal blazing saddle

burned blinding trajectory

catching eminent potential groom.

    I didn't understand much of this, since so many references are to provincial American things. Maybe a few translations/footnotes would help.
