October eighth, quite patently,
Will go down well in history,
For on that date it chanced to be
That something super happened – me!
Just thirty-seven years ago, you see
(Well, it has seven and a three,
But it is true that, possibly,
The order may not quite agree …)
But, anyway, as baby, wee –
That done, no doubt, prodigiously –
That’s when I made my grand en-tree
To universal ecstasy.
Those who have all done famously
Appeared this day to small degree;
Apart from Crocodile Dundee,
I seem the top of that there tree!
It can be seen that modesty
I also have in marked degree,
But you can see how brilliantly
I write, by getting eBook, free!

If I have unravelled the sense of this correctly, maybe it is in order to wish you Happy Birthday. If not, I will simply wish you Happy.

May you write many more blogs, books, really awful rhymes and musical compositions. No, wait, the musical compositions aren’t awful.
