Happy Birthday, Uther Pendragon (Silver Trophy)

Happy Birthday, Uther Pendragon

I saw your uther penwriting,
he didn’t seem to give a care
gloating, sneering, cold to the bone

I saw him, sitting there writing,
your uther pendragon, sulking
‘cuz you left him sitting alone

Perhaps your uther penwriting,
his heart going into each word,
his literary skill was shown

While the poor uther pendragon,
no longer the number one pen,
decided his skills he would hone

So he got right to work writing,
his soul went into each stanza,
until his new poetry shone

It was his birthday, after all,
yet no one seemed to really care
they didn’t hear his silent groan

‘Twas then that uther penwriting,
came up to uther pendragon,
for you, he said, your very own

Uther pendragon, teary eyed,
had a change of heart for his mate
as he read this very nice poem

So now uther pendragon saw
he wasn’t really left out and
his birthday took on a new tone

It was the best birthday ever,
they all shared the cake and ice cream
after all the candles were blown

Happy Birthday, Uther Pendragon

How old are you now, anyway?

    Dear catz,
    I enjoyed the play between uther pendragon and uther penwriting, they seemed to have that family struggle or two sides of a coin. Nicely done.

    I'm 103! No really...I'm 47...almost as bad! I started counting in hexadecimal a few years ago, because I liked being 29 when I was 41. It isn't so cool now that I'm 2G. I look forward to my next birthday when I will be 30!

    "It was the best birthday ever,
    they all shared the cake and ice cream
    after all the candles were blown"

    Great stanza...makes me really appreciate birthdays!

    Thanks for the write!

    lol. This was very witty. I liked it a lot. As I said I always enjoy the poets who can write with humor (and succeed in making people laugh!). This made me smile. Great work! I hope you do well in the contest.

    Don't feel too bad, Shahrzad.... for some reason my own name is on my favorites list, don't know when or how it got there but it always shows on the list on the right of my favorites who are on line at the moment.... I want to delete it out of my favorits list but when I look at the whole favorites list it's not on it.....Oh well..

    Thanks for reading and commenting on this one .... I wasn't familiar with Uther Pendragon's work before this contest but have read several of his now and I like them very much....

    Love and to you
    Mom
