Dear friends:

I am on the road to San Jose
To see my daughter Barky play,
Which ought to be a world of fun;
And also, she turns 21.
A world of love, fond celebration
And days of highway navigation!
But well worth all fatigue and strife --
It only happens once each life!
If Mom gets thin without me here,
I'm back the last night of the year.
Until which time, I wish Good Seasons,
The best of BS, rhymes, and reason
To all of you who bend your heads
To making Mom the best of threads!


A
