-Happy Birthday Bill Baker

“Happy Birthday to Bill Baker for February the 10th”
A poet friend held in such high esteem
A man of wisdom and positivity
Who shines as brightly as a beacons beam

A kind, respectful man
A poet extraordinaire
Abundant with understanding and compassion
His good humour he is now beginning to share

So, to you my Texan buddy
I wish you a wonderful day
Enjoy, relax and put your feet up
While we all at P.S sing Hip Hip Hooray!!


  “HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVELY FRIEND”!!

Deb, this is truly commendable of you to have recollected Bill's birthday and composed a beautifully crafted poem in his honor. I am in complete accord with your sentiment, as Bill is an exceptional individual and poet, possessing a remarkably benevolent nature. Undoubtedly, this gesture will hold immense significance for him.
