This is my eighty-fourth year of life
Managed to get through with minimal strife
One of the lucky ones
Managed to overcome
All the pitfalls so what's ahead in the afterlife...

Leap year babes party every fourth year
When their birthday arrives they can cheer
But on a positive note
It would surely get MY vote
Getting old is something they won’t fear!

in grade school
he heard about it

in high school
he prepared for it

in his first year
he explored it

in his second year
he focused on it

in his third year
he felt part of it

in his fourth year
he graduated from it

Now, he has a job
because of it....

Listen to poem:

It is like that of a leaping rabbit who hop on all four,
Twenty-twenty, would then leap an added four more,
Leap at each fourth year, a day February would score, 
As for a century leaps at every four hundred years.

LEAP YEAR
                  
     Jumping a day in February on every fourth year
     three hundred sixty-six days appear
     in a leap year, no error, clean clear,
     welcoming Olympic.
