A year's worth of poems, every week for 52 weeks, spanning 2023 and 2024, plus the year following, from August 2024 to August 2025.(provided I live that long, of course).
Thank you, Allan Charles. I've contested the Charlie Chaplin thing a couple of times, won once, if I remember correctly. But it's the kind of thing I try when bored and have nothing better to do - just doesn't seem to have happened lately.
Twenty-four today, twice twelve,
scribbler’s ship sails on,
literary legend so loquacious,
vaunted vessel of valiant view.
So sails the ship on spider’s seas,
wanderer of web, warp and woof,
gallant the galleon, great the game,
she bends to the briny breeze.
Calls to the captain the clever crew,
cheers to the challenge of twenty-four more,
roistering rum ration raised to the roof,
sozzled the scribes in sweet sentiment.
Alike in action, all assert their aim,
onward only to open ocean,
they raise their glasses in tumult and praise,
birthday the happiest to Writing dot com!
