Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Happy Number 110, Dad

   Happy Number 110, Dad
     Thanks to you I can recall
   Life before the Internet
     and the shopping mall

   I remember your office
     a cabinet, desk and chair
   Open the window
     if you wanted fresh air

   You maneuvered tough times
     the Great Depression, WW2
   Today more than ever, Dad
     I'm humbled by you

   Had he lived, my dad would be 110 years 
   old today, Feb. 17, 2024.  He shares his
   birthday, by the way, with Michael Jeffrey
   Jordan.
