Birthday Wishes
Mom, dad, brothers, niece, sister -in law
48 friends send e-mails
Five more make phone calls
One even complains profusely
I have a heck of a nerve
To have a birthday during his illness
Feeling forced to call me while sick
Only to find out that another friend
Has his birthday two days after mine
All this attention fills one with warmth
Great joy swells up the old ticker
I guess it's great to have just turned 49
