Morgan's Birthday Poem

The chronicles and history of Morgan Diana Bailey up until her 21st birthday, as is known and represented by her friends Madeline and Annie:

She was born by the piano;

she played all day and all night,

while her mom did her hair

in braids and ribbons real tight!

Then came the curse 

of the bifocals plain.

They were a real bother, 

they’d fog up in the rain.

These dark ages came quick

and they lasted a while,

good thing for her humor--

she waved off jokes with a smile.

Then to the magic-filled

Westmont she came,

she enrolled in an English class,

which went down in fame.

She met three pretty girls there,

all beautifully bright,

and she sighed, “If they’d be my friends,

I know I’ll be alright!”

Lucky for Morgan,

all three felt the same way,

and fell under her spell

of bluegrass fiddle play!

And now we all try

to live up to her manners

and since it's her birthday

we’ll make her a banner!*

Happy Birthday.  :)

*no real banner was made.  This is simply a poetic sentiment representing fidelity and friendship.

Stanzas that did not make it into “The Chronicles”:

Childhood was full 

of knowing too much Latin

and missing the ball 

when she was up battin’

and

She used to have 

bifocals and braces

and now that they’re gone, 

Bradley’s off to the races!
