Nothing rhymes with seventy. So I found all the words that rhymed with septuagenarian. Then I used them.

Septuagenarian

 

Lets raise our voices loud and clarion!

For jim is now septuagenarian!

All laud this fine humanitarian;

Every doctor and librarian!

 

Praise his life, lets not be tarryin,

Laud his virtue, never varyin,

Praise his works utilitatarian,

Far and wide our voices carryin

 

A dad who’s non authoritation

A colleague who’s egalitarian

A husband who was worth the marryin

Man of culture, non barbarian

 

Be you sikh or rastafarian,

Mozart lover or wagnerian,

Carnivore or vegetarian,

Orthodox or non sectarian,

 

Be you post or pre lapsarian,

Newly hatched or centenarian,

Platyhelminth or planarian

Urban cowby or agrarian,

 

Whether aesthete or vulgarian,

One  percent or proletarian,

Osteopath or veterinarian,

Atheist or seminarian,

 

Franco prussian  Or bavarian

Greco roman or sumerian

Spanish or austro hungarian

Let’s all praise Jim, septuagenarian!

Welcome to the club, Jim! And yes, marian the librarian is also a septuagenarian (aka Shirley Jones). And she's still a hottie. Next stop--octogeneria. Onward and upward!

All praises to Jim! And many more praises for this wonderful poem filled with rhyming antonyms. It is truly a study in how to create a structure that is riveting, instructional, and fun.

Ron, a recent septuagenarian himself
