My Birthday Comes Twice Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

My Birthday Comes Twice



I have decided due to need
that I shall celebrate indeed
each coming birthday for two days
this strategy, in case it pays
will grant to me a frank reversal
and, in a way a sly rehearsal,
by adding then subtracting -YES-
and neutralizing, can you guess,
the gain in years and to forestall
the ultimate and final fall!
So, let it be my secret plan
to be the first, an ageless man.

Yee hee hee! And hey, you're body might be gaining years but that mind of yours will ever be young. More than most of us can (or will) say (myself included) .
