Happy Birthday!
from a peach
came Momotaro
the joy of life
to his mum and pater
but that is just a fairy tale
and I can do one better:
in an autumn day
a lass came forth
from a pumpkin
round and tight –
she brought with her
light, poetry
and boundless love
so today
we celebrate
her coming
28 years later …
with joy and
many happy returns!
