You're 9x8, three-six times two,
And one dozen times six
We can add to the mix
Larry Graham, Happy Birthday to you!
Have a great day, bro. You've always been a wonderful person to look up to. Please know that I would love you like a brother even if you weren't!
As I said once before, talent runs
ReplyDeleteIn your family, through music and puns
And through poetry, humor
But now there's a rumor -
A remake you're in - "My Three Sons"
One son's mind is perfectionist, clean, yes
Another, a wit that's obscene, yes -
Puns and lim'ricks deploy
What his readers enjoy.
Then there's birthday boy - Juilliard genius.
I hope that the rumor is true
High ratings would surely ensue
Your biography would
Entertain as it should
But for now, "Happy birthday to you!"
By a music bug, I have been bitten
Your performances leave me just smitten
Along with the best
Like Argerich and Hess
Horowitz, Kuerti
Uchida, Pollini
And Richter, Arrau
Go ahead, take a bow
Your story, so rife
With a musical life
Should in hist'ry books also be written.
Via email, brother Larry asked me to pass along how much he enjoyed your 26 lines of rhyme, Suz! Not sure why he couldn't/didn't comment himself, but he was very sincere in his compliments and enjoyment of your stanzas!
