To Lucas, on his birthday

There’s a bloke I know called Lucas, and he’s really rather ace.

He writes and tweets and speaks and blogs,

He’s good at online dialogues,

He shares cute photographs of dogs,

And knows stuff about space.

Today it’s this bloke’s birthday, so I’m writing to extend

Warm wishes of good things diverse,

Disguised as rather stumbling verse

(It’s not my best, but I’ve seen worse)

To Lucas, my dear friend.
