A Birthday Panegyric

[Editor’s note: Bob insists on calling this “doggerel.”  We call it “Skeltonic.”  And the answer to Bob’s closing question: Yes, yes, yes!  We intend to inaugurate the annual Robert D. Denham BBQ and Scotch Quaff come May.]

Last week this blog
Was six months old.
It’s earned a bronze,
A silver, gold.

Record we now
The debts we owe
To Michael, Clayton
And to Joe.

They’ve trod a maze
And shined the lights
On our meanders
And forthrights.

A panegyric
To all three.
Come quaff a stein,
Won’t you, with me?
