I must admit that I am late

Somehow I would miscalculate 

So for my Australian friend, Bob

Guess I was sleeping on the job : )



His birthday's, August twenty third 

But I'm not sure if you had heard

He shared the date with John, his twin

Sadly he passed, three years it's been



Bob's first marriage to his Jeanette

Divorced, in ten years they re~wed

It shows you cannot stop true~love

What's meant to be is from above 



They had two kids, Lisa and Paul

Proof that their love had given all

Two grandkids, Chloe and Christian

These two blessings are a win/win



So now Bob is fully retired

Two novels published, he is wired

So in his free time, Bob will write

Check his portfolio on site



So Bob, your party will relate

To things that aren't quite the right date

Your FanStory friends won't berate

If you are just a little late

*

Bob, we hope your Birthday was GREAT!
