They have to be ribald but clean too
I tried as I might

Mercurial, mischievous minx
Amphibious air swirling in turquoise tang
Ribald thief of restrained relief
Capricious caress in cobalt clouds
Hale blown heather tickles the daffodils' flaxen dress.

It signals a new day is dawning

A birthday is a time for great rejoicing
for gifts of beauty from heart and hand untold
to laud with laughter ev'ry sweetheart's voicing
with prayerful words let life's virtues be extolled.

with honeyed words and images from dreams complete
with Health, and Wealth, and Fame and ribald story
letting our dearest friends find morning's glory....

upon my hallowed home,
the traffic's gone, the streets unplowed
and I'm engrossed in tomes.

in naught but paint and pelts.

And so it was, and so it is
as men live or die for a kiss....
