Dear Morteedarlin',

Only a Birthday greeting
From out of the wide, wide West,
To wish you in Western fashion
A Natal Day that's one of the best.
May it have the breadth of the plains,
May happiness be mountain high,
May trouble and strife be as far from your life
As the distant coyote's cry.
May your Year to Come be a great divide
Of Joy that will have no crest;
To sum it up in a word or two,
Happy Birthday from way out West!*
