For Joey's Birthday, tomorrow

Birthdays
by Robert William Service

Let us have birthdays every day,
(I had the thought while I was shaving)
Because a birthday should be gay,
And full of grace and good behaving.
We can't have cakes and candles bright,
And presents are beyond our giving,
But let lt us cherish with delight
The birthday way of lovely living.

Dog Days Haiku

Morning mud frolic
requires cold lather, not sun-
bathing afternoon.
