My Birthday

Children's Poetry. Sweet Jasmine called 'knock-knock' on my door, gave me some earrings and chocolates galore. A pretty card she wrote with writing so clear... I was 'over the moon' to have Jasmine here. She brought her new toy really meant for a boy! two elderly dwarfs on a swing. She played for a time then said 'please say a rhyme about two men on swing'. I started to sing like a bird on the wing. Here is the rhyme, fresh in its prime: 'Ding a ling, ding a ling two old men on a swing one man is green a total 'has-been' and one man is red he's ready for bed... so ding a ling ling two men on a swing. Now, let us sing.' And oh the rapture the joy and the laughter on my birthday.
