To Paul

 On your Birthday….

If, for your birthday,
     just as a lark,

I composed a grand poem –
     an Ode,


And I wrote it down
     on a birch tree’s bark,

What you’d have is of course, a.....
     Bark Ode!

 

 

But if only I’d had
     the time

To teach our dogs to “Woof-Woof “
     in rhyme,

Why, you’d have have just glowed
     At being bestowed
