A MAINER NAMED YEM
We celebrate the fame
of a Mainer named Yem
who stands out in the crowd,
distinguished as not one of them.
Well-read of fine authors,
with a passion for history,
he writes romantic poetry,
prose with horror and mystery.
Both rough and polished,
a keeper is Yem,
a friend, a true gem.
Join us in celebrating a Moxie Day with Yem...
along with these two honored guests,
Sir Ima Cucumber and Keystone Theater.
Bring presents...fine words, popcorn, cupcakes and brownies and MOXIE!
and party favors for Yem, Ima, and Keystone...
and more MOXIE...
And even more MOXIE...
But be careful how much is served to Sir Ima,
for Moxie gives him an incredible glow!
AND NOW, YEM, TO PRESENT SOME PRE-RECORDED MESSAGES FROM YOUR FRIENDS...
from Mariza...
It doesn’t matter how many moons you have seen
Or suns rising and setting in the infinite of the horizons
Your gentleness doesn’t age or fade with the years
your heart beats with youthful joy, and always will
For your birthday I want to thank you for be who you are
An amazing friend who have held my hand through tempests
And smiled my smile when happiness was all around
Happy birthday Mayne!!!
Hugh Wyles:
"Perchance one meets, along life’s streets, a man of foremost wit
who can aspire (which we admire) to master Mari’s “IT”
but purple cows and Vigo’s sows, even Coelho don’t seem odd
if, daily, you drink MOXIE and see YEMASSEE as god!
To those I see here on AP, please join with me to say:
“Dear Yemassee, now you’re FIFTY, have a hip, hap, HAPPY DAY!!”
Melodies:
"The birthday stork is swooping by;
a gift of twins... can hardly fly...
He thinks that you are mighty nifty,
is calling out, "A HAPPY FIFTY!"

"They say it's your birthday,
you're fifty, at that!
But just remember,
I reached it first.
Happy Birthday, Yem, my big brother, and many more. Love, Patricia"
Maureen:
"Your body may be changin'
but your mind's not changed a bit!
Please stay just the way you are..
a funny, silly twit!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YEM!"
J aime Coudre:
"I hear you are turning 50 this year and might be feeling a bit anxious about it..well,, let me tell you it only gets better...But if it will make you feel any better let me put it in a different prospective...You have been around for half a century!...Now, don't you feel better already...
So have a great birthday...drink lots of Moxie...take life by the horns and have an unbelievable ride of your life...then go out and write more fun poetry...Yours is the best...Hugs and best wishes...Darlene
A WRY BIRTHDAY MESSAGE FROM waydownuponjoy
A Birthday …
I know, Dear Sir, at birthday time,
That you might wake alarmed to find -
While arms and legs remain quite strong,
Your cucumber’s - no longer long!
Please don’t rely on super glue,
I’m sure you’ve heard there’s hope for you,
While fifty seems a bit extreme,
A pill or two can save esteem.
So smile awhile - enjoy the gift,
That Pfizer made for mid-life lift!
Happy 5 OH ... to you! joy
From Catz
Happy Birthday to you. And make it a good one,
Yem... we reach that half century
mark but once in a lifetime
P.S. Your birthday socks are on their way
Lotsa love, swats and a hug.
From I-Like-Rhymes:
I'd like to join the happy throng
saying "50 years and still going strong,"
To a birthday boy who is a sparkling gem
So let's all raise a glass to good old Yem
From fathom me:
Wish you the best of all the enjoyable, lovely things in life
Happy Birthday! and your new year!
More Moxie, More Love, More Warmth, More Fun
& More of good caring friends like Mari.
