And may I be permitted to include <br />my happy wishes for this aging dude? <br />I've nothing but respect for him of course, <br />but struth I feel the same about a horse! ! ! ! <br /> <br />What puzzles me and gives me sleepless nights, <br />is how the heck he found his Lady Love? <br />It's proof to me again, because by rights <br />he should have been berated from above. <br /> <br />Ye Gods have seen his seven decades pass <br />and Jerry knows some went like rotten gas. <br />I know he pays attention more to life <br />since being blessed with her, a lovely wife. <br /> <br />I raise my glass and toast you in the name <br />of he who fearlessly still leads us well. <br />So let us goose-step boldly to the game <br />but tread with care and lightly, into Hell. <br /> <br />There is a reason, as you know to choose, <br />no loving women will be serving booze <br />up in that prim and proper place, my friend. <br />And you and I have needs up to the end. <br /> <br />A Very Happy Birthday to the best Warrior <br />in our Forces!<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-happy-birthday-to-jerry-poet-laureate/
