For you on this
special day.
You're not just getting older,
You're aging. Like fine wine
until it turns
into vinegar.

I can remember
Men walking on the moon;
You can remember ice delivery.

I shook hands with Nixon,
But you got to push
Roosevelt's wheelchair.

I went to school
before computers and I
had to use a typewriter.
You jabbed sticks into
slabs of mud and
wrote in cuneiform.

I remember the draft.
You remember ration stamps.

My first car had
three-on-a-tree.
Your first car had a crank.

Even though
you're older than dirt,
you still have what it takes!
I send you my love,
and this special wish:
HAPPY
VALENTINE'S
DAY!

I know you like roses,
but the daisies
were cheaper.

Especially dedicated to my
special friend,
Teri of "Friendly Links",
who is old as sin,
and twice as popular!
