“My life, I realize suddenly, is July. Childhood is June, and old age is August, but here it is, July, and my life, this year, is July inside of July” Rick Bass

Happy 55th Birthday to My Better Half

Nineteen
Sixty-one
A year filled
With lots of fun
Brought
Forth
A July’s child
Quit the wild
Born with
The biggest smile

This July
All grown up
But at heart
Still
A young pup
Ready to fly
High as the sky
But never without
That wide smile

Happy Birthday Sir Patrick!

“A couple of years ago, I was asked, ‘How would you like to be remembered?’ And my answer was ‘That I was very funny.’” Sir Patrick Stewart

Happy Birthday Sir Patrick!

Totally charming
Maybe even utterly harming
When you make us laugh
And make us cry
With a voice like that
Sir Pat in a hat
Canny as a cat
Who could resist
Of being kissed
By a great fellow
You’re hell of’
An actor, a Captain and a King
And even able to sing

Wishing you a merry, happy and utterly great Birthday
And as the cliche goes, if I may

Live Long And Prosper
Oh, Captain of Captains!

Happy Birthday Nephew! for SL-Week 51

“Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Jim
Happy birthday to you.”

The Birthday Boy

“Dig into the cake son”
The father urged
His head turned
As the birthday boy
Was about to enjoy
The much deserved treat
Which was definitely not meat
But a juicy summer’s strawberry tart
Made by mom, straight from the heart

“Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday dear Jim
Happy birthday to you.”

The Cake

The aroma of the strawberry cake
We all knew, that was not a fake
It was all done for the sake
Of the birthday celebration on this date

Sisters, Sisters lyrics by Irving Berlin

“Sisters, sisters
There were never such devoted sisters,
Never had to have a chaperone, no sir,
I’m there to keep my eye on her

Caring, sharing
Every little thing that we are wearing
All kinds of weather, we stick together
The same in the rain and sun”

Happy 35th Birthday Little Sis’!

My two little sisters
Twins, they say with a whisper

Two of a kind they ain’t
The other likes to shop
The other likes to paint
The other holds a job
The other would rather faint

My little sisters
They sometimes give me blisters

But here is the twister
I am still the lucky winner
With my two dear sisters

Many happy returns Johanna and Miranda aka Amanda & Bertta!

A Code to Joy or 2016 06 27 51

Ciphered code:
2016 06 27 51

A lottery number?
You may have won!
No, not in this mode
Just fall back to slumber

Nothing too cryptic
Nothing remotely close to apocalyptic
But, a date of some importance
At least for where I take my stance

Today, turning fifty one
Feeling, like a phaser on stun
Pardon the Star Trek pun
Being La Gun, is still lots of fun

So:
Happy Birthday to me-ee!

Live Long and Prosper George Takei!

“It’s really hard to hate someone for being different when you’re too busy laughing together.”
― George Takei

Live Long and Prosper George Takei!

Oh my!
How time flies
When you are having fun
Keep the phasers on stun
For today we celebrate
No matter if gay or straight
Our king and superhero
Will add a few years to the zero

Hip hip hooray!
Happy 79th birthday
Captain Sulu aka George Takei!

Happy 48th Birthday David Hewlett AKA Dr. Rodney McKay

“I’m Dr. Rodney McKay, alright? Difficult takes a few seconds; impossible, a few minutes.”

Happy 48th Birthday David Hewlett AKA Dr. Rodney McKay

Horror made worth the Hammer
But really a computer programmer
McKay, the Science Guy
In Pegasus a Puddle Jumper will fly
And always getting the final word
Apparently a real life nerd
When playing at the gaming console
Reaching for the ultimate goal

But before I get all side tracked
Let’s get this thing cracked
We’re almost out of time
Adding some Time Lords just to rhyme

Need for paraphrasing “the other” franchise
Oh’ other fans, little me do not chastise!
So without further ado:
Live long and prosper Mr Hewlett!

(Hey, that last part did not rhyme!
So? I am only a writer on a dime!)
