Happy Birthday to Rockit; your __ is commemorated today,
I’m writing you a poem, as a formal birthday bouquet,
I don’t have much birthday advice, or words of sensibility,
Except remember what is important with a touch of humility,
Remember there’s a right time when the ball needs spiking,
Be compatible & you’ll find situations can be to your liking,
May all your horses’ whinnies be happy ones that gallop into full tilt,
May life be blooming flowers, the ones that never wilt,
This is the anniversary of the day you made your premiere,
I hope you have sweet contentment in the coming year.
