ODE TO JULIA R BARRETT – THE BIRTHDAY GIRL




There once was girl from Iowa
Who set off in search of the Kiowa
She travelled far and wide   
Across the great plains in search of her
Dreams
Note pad and pencil she had, to record
All that she saw
Couldn’t find the Kiowa but landed
In California where Silicon Valley met Grape Valley
With a bucket of Mission Grapes to hand and with her computer
From the Valley
A house on the hill was moved into and PC from the Valley plugged into
From there she wrote of her dreams of Sauce and Sauciness
With Ketchup and Asparagus and a Martini from Penny and an Em-dash from Jaye she writes of Travels and Adventures, of coffee moms and handsome Germans  
An audience was found who were always around and waiting for her 
to say Hi!

Oh! I give up,  I’m useless at this stuff, thinking of just taking Ishbel to food court at the local Mall for our Anniversary dinner next week , that’s how  bad I am.....


HAPPY BIRTHDAY

JULIA R BARRETT


replace the  'I' in this song with 
WE GOT you babe

  4. Oh. My. God. I actually may acknowledge this birthday after all. This is the worst, sweetest poem anyone has ever written for me. In fact, this is the only poem anyone has ever written for me. I LOVE it. I will print it up and frame it.
    Thank you, Tom. You are a true Scotsman - you have a romantic heart. And I mean that in a good way.

  5. That is one sweet poem - I'm welling up here. No one ever wrote me a birthday poem or tried to get me arrested in Paris without any trousers on. I'm confused as well.
