Tim’s 60

Here with us a lad known as Tim
who returned to our toun on a whim.
   Now he’s just turned sixty,
   but don’t get all misty
He’s still got his vigour and vim!

Julian’s 60

Here with us a lad known as Julian
whose labours are often Herculean.
   Now he’s just turned sixty,
   but don’t get all misty
He’s not yet the antediluvian.

The Beginning (Prelude to 19 June 1949)

There was a young lad named Jimmy
who danced with a lass named Timi
But he chose twin Micki
’cause he was so picky
and wow, could she shake and shimmy.

Father’s Day 2012

When Jimmy was just a lad
with Micki two sons he had
Now we can’t deny
that he’s a great guy
so I’m glad that he’s my Dad.

Gawain limerick

There was a young knight dubbed Gawain
Who refused to come out of the rain.
Wailed Mom, “You’ll catch cold!”,
Charged he, “But I’m bold!”
Yet rust in one’s suit is a pain.
