NATAL DAY for DEBRA <br /> <br />Cold hands, warm heart they say <br />Retard the aging process nicely <br />This day and time of year <br />Were not the warmest to be born <br />Yet you and your sisters inner heat <br />Keep the passing years away <br />Staying younger as the calendar grows. <br /> <br />This author regrets a decade or so of age <br />To show you how a man and maid should <br /> Be acquainted <br />Now would spoil your chances with a <br /> Younger man <br />Which all of you deserve to have. <br /> <br />Throw your chest out and strut tall <br />Especially you little birthday pigeon <br />Any man should be proud to do <br />The honours. <br /> <br /> <br />With mischief in mind but never malice.<br /><br />Thomas Golding<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/natal-day-for-debra/
