John was born

John

All the shit-stained BVD's,
Runny noses, bloody knees,
Tear-filled eyes and wax-filled ears,
All the messy childhood years.

Broken noses, broken hearts,
Fragrant roses, stinking farts,
False bravado, silly fears,
All the messy teenage years.

Independence, work, and love,
Your turn to deal with all of the above,
This rhyme on time will do what it can
To toast a son who's become a hell of a man.

Happy Birthday John Dean Bales Zask

Mom
