A commissioned poem for a friend for her spouse's birthday.
Raise your wine-eken high
To celebrate a singular guy
Spouts Italian like a gondola driver
A crossword & Scrabble Kaiser
A humor so dry it can be biting
Like a jagged stroke of lightening
But never doubt the heart and passion
For people, art, and Athens
A playlist aficionado
Adopted scion of Chicago
Settled at North Wayne Avenue
Improv’s reluctant ingénue
For all the bdays before
And all those yet to come
I wish you joy, adventure,
And zero erosion of your aplomb
