Thanks Bhwun
For the Birthday idea
this one is mine.
~~*~~
Happy Birthday To me Too
~~~*~~~
Today I Reach the same age
As my father
When He passed away
At 61
I saw a bicycle
On my driway
Iridescent metallic green
Nothing like I've ever seen
Just there taunting me
Ride me if you dare
The idiot machismo within
Volumteer me, for a spin
Knowing
Balance I lagged
I mounted the bike
Like a cowboy on a bronc
Not wanting all to see
I was, in no hurry
When none were looking
I pedalled a few feet away
Found myself facing up I laid
Now on my knee
Nursing I am, a strawberry.
Ouchhhhhhhh!! #&%$#*&^%$#.!!~

I will be there in less than two years and I now prefer to take after my father's father who lived until he was 97 instead of 57.

That's the trouble with life. Just when we have time to do things we always wanted to do, you discover you can't do them. I decided that I would run, and I did it without getting out of breath, but I could hardly walk the following week. Now I know one can't run with bad knees. Liked your poem. I'm sure we'll find other fun things to do after we have healed. Wanting to have fun doesn't make us us stubborn old fools.
Happy B-day Belated, that is...sorry I cannot rely on Rufuz to remind me of anything till afterwards...Again happy reruns, or was it refunds, no it was definitely returns...or was it! Peace, ED & rufuz
I happen to like stubborn old fools, William, since I am one myself!
Happy Happy Birthday to you, and wishing you many, many more.

William, this poem shows you are still willing to take a chance; as a forward looking man willing to sacrifice his body in spite of the pain of achievment. But it gets a little harder. Happy Birthday William. Bill
Good for you William, still willing to be daring!
I don't call that a fool, I call it dashing;-)
Happy Birthday and many more to come! Never stop trying!;-)
Contraband Marriage, traveling along the hemline of loving after incarceration, is a love story written in lyric and free form, set in reality with a different ever after.
My book of poetry is being redone by me, I have a beautiful cover designed and the book will have a few more than 200 poems in it. I am going to have it printed on demand here in Canada. When it is done I will let you know when it is done and if anyo
