For Rick, on his birthday.

Because there are plenty of things that rhyme with "Rick".

Today I’d like to celebrate

Another year of Rick.

A man whose nose for news is great;

Whose awful puns are quick;

Whose love for rhymes and dinosaurs

And science makes him tick.

A man with everlasting stores

Of witty rhetoric.

When first we shared some tweets online

I’m sure I heard a click.

And now I call him “friend of mine”

And hope our bond will stick.

He’s bright, articulate and fun,

Intelligent and quick;

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY Squiggly one!

I think you’re fully sick.

(Hey look! I made it to the end

Without once saying “dick”!)
