Poem
MY 62ND BIRTHDAY It’s my birthday and I’m in my 62nd year I’ve shared the laughter and the tears I love birthdays and there’s been a lot I love all the cake so far that I have got I did some overseas travel in my twenties And here are some places that I went Whilst in Paris I visited The Louvre Just one of the things you have to do But, there’s one thing I thought they could improve Clear Perspex was in front of the Mona Lisa for protection And it was hard to see her through my reflection They just needed to employ more security guards Because seeing Lisa clearly was very hard Besides that, Paris is my favourite city The lights at night are very pretty The first time I saw the Eiffel Tower, I was in awe I had to take a photo of what I saw So, I laid face down on the ground And when I turned my head around An amazing view of the tower was found I could see the tower through the branches of the trees And it looked pretty good to me When I saw the result, my mind was blown Now that photo is the screen saver on my phone In 1987 I did a 45-day tour of Europe which was great And in each country their national food we ate We went to different restaurants here and there And we ate some really yummy fare In Munich we went to a large beer hall We ate pig’s trotters and sauerkraut and that’s not all The waitress brought us litres of beer Soon I was in really good cheer I noticed the band had gone for a break So, then my chance I did take I got on the stage and I sat on the drummer’s chair I picked up the drumsticks that were there The drummer shouted “nein, nein” as he ran towards me Playing his drums was not meant to be In Greece we had moussaka, we broke plates and we danced They served us snails and frog’s legs in France We also had some sangria to drink And that is just delicious I think Travelling in Europe and Britain, I had fun along the way I’d really love to go overseas again one day I would like to see more of Australia too So many things to see and do My life has had its ups and downs Sometimes my smile turned into a frown It’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride But, along the way I have always tried To be positive and optimistic and that really helps I just strive to be myself A good sense of humour is helpful too Laughing is a great thing to do Music is one of my favourite things I love writing songs and I like to sing I write heaps of poetry as well Many stories I have to tell There is inspiration everywhere For my poetry which I love to share This is just part of my story, there is so much more I’m looking forward to what life has in store.
