Sonnet to Joseph at Five Years Old

In the year Two Thousand and Two,
An Olympic spirit blew through:
In Utah, some national flags were unfurled
For skiers and skaters throughout this great world.

And as we had visitors, many of them foreign,
That was exactly when Joseph was born:
That was the time when he came to this earth;
That February, the month of his birth!

We are so happy that he is alive;
Let’s celebrate that he’s now turning five!

Let’s eat sweet cake till it comes out our ears;
Let us rejoice now for Joseph’s five years!

Let us just say in a short summary:
Thank goodness, thank goodness, for Joseph Montgomery!

by his Grandpa, Pa Hacken, for his 5th Birthday.
