Good evening, welcome back! or first timers, welcome! Today is my birthday, not that I get treated any different because of that! But I thought I'd mention it because I thought of a poem while driving home today (it seems I do my best thinking while driving, writing is another story) and it involves the date of my birth, 11/21/71! I have no idea what to call this poem except for..........11211971!
On the twenty first day, of the eleventh month,
Nineteen hundred and seventy one!
Blessed be, the world had begot that day,
What would become America's favorite son!
Angels were reported seen, the trumpets blasts did sound,
Special be this child, many miraculous talents abound!
Thirty five years ago to this day,
Through November's winter clouds came a ray!
And that ray straight from heaven, shown thru to the ground,
All sadness and hate was struck deaf by the sound!
A saint in the flesh, so blue bled his blood,
Overwhelming the Earth, like tidal wave did flood!
Braun and brains, and good looks, overflowing in a disciplined rage,
A hero to lead the meak and downtrodden, into the brave new age!
On this day in nineteen seventy one, a legend had been born,
Shining brighter than the jewels in the crown, his head adorned!
The hero unknown, for all I know, you see
Is that the hero born November twenty first nineteen seventy one......
Was not me!
