Brian's Birthday - late again

My brother's birthday is March 2.  I've decided that this is the second worst day on the calendar to celebrate a birth (March 1 being the very worst) because February is a short month, and by the time you realize March is here, it's too late to send a card.  I've messed this up every darn year.  Yes, one might think I would learn.  Sigh.  I'm working on it.

Anyway, here's a little poem, for Brian on March 2:

Brian is fifty-four today

just ask his sister Reb

but don't ask her what month it is

cuz she's not done with Feb

Every birthday, same ol thing:

March second does appear 

just two days past Feb 28 -

it happens every year.

But not next year, no way no how.

Her plan won't be so hard:

She'll watch the dates in February

and be ready with a card!

She'll take it to the post office,

through snow and sleet and damp 

So proud! 'til she remembers

that she forgot the stamp.
