Happy Birthday To Poetry Soup Poet Laureate Richard Pickett

HERE'S WISHING YOU A BUCKET OF THE BEST, FOR HAVING REACHED THAT GOLDEN CREST, I MYSELF CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER THAT FAR BACK, TO THE TIME WHEN I BROKE YOUTH'S BACK... BUT WISHING YOU THE BEST FOR THE NEXT MANY YEARS, YOU'LL ONLY GET UGLIER AND WISER SO BELAY YOUR FEARS. MAY YOUR HEART BE FILLED WITH JOYFUL TEARS, MEANWHILE, KICK BACK WITH A COUPLE A BEERS.

You are so generous with your praise; I've never read his verses but I see he posted below so I'll have a chance. I see I have read him - just forgot! One of my shortcomings
