Back To Back Birthdays

Yesterday the birthday girl, Her rainbow tutu swishing, Blew out (with brother's help) the candles Lit for birthday wishing. From playground, train and parachute, The 4 year olds were romping Until the time for pizza came, With juice and lots of chomping. Today the celebration was Just slightly more subdued, Though with stories told and mem'ries shared With fun it was imbued. The birthday girl, at 91, Enjoyed a home-cooked meal, Drank gin and tonics then blew out Her candles with some zeal. Two birthday bashes back to back On both ends of life's arc, Let me have a double helping Of what such a day can spark.
