Of-fish-all status whole year past
(A Sev’nty-four, at sea)
Today, instead, has at long last
Become Alexis V
Attaining, in time gone too fast,
LXXV, you see …
Translated, means I’ve reached the vast
Three-quarter century!

Alexis V… aaagh!!!! I accord you the highest possible honour: fleeing from the room screaming and holding my nose.
A very happy 75th to you – wishing you many more years in which to inflict vile puns upon the innocent populace.

I thought I’d post a com-ODE-y
In response to your said tr-AGE-dy
But when I found the pun don’t fit
I had to take my leave of it
And wish you every bit of cheer
As you head t’wards your hundredth year.

To me you’ll always be Twenty-three (about the age you were when I last saw you). I am exactly 10 years and 3 days younger than you! Wishing you health, wealth and happiness in the year to come.
