Happy Birthday Duque!

T oday is Duque’s Birthday.
H air is turning grey.
I ncontinence is threatening;
R est homes and decay.
T oday is Duque’s Birthday.
Y a Yas with Ya Yas
E ar hair and some nose hair.
I rrational chutzpah 
G out, bunions and arthritis.
H earing aids and blindness.
T oday is Duque’s Birthday

Good to hear about Duque and that he lived to be so old. Tell him I said have a great day. Nicely done Acrostic. Keep writing. Sara
