It was 6 AM when Leo called
To announce today marked his 85th birthday.
He knew it was 6, but felt compelled
To share his good news.
He had waited until exactly 6 so that
We would not be awakened too early.
Unlike most calls, he only pointed out
Our lack of communication…twice.
It was a happy Leo who called.
Not the guy full of worry about his daughters,
And their lack of respect,
Nor the man bewailing our President.
Leo, Leo, you’ve had your share of bad breaks:
Lost your short-term memory, your job, your wife.
I am truly appreciative of the effort and warmth
Present in your call. Happy birthday!
