Hurray!
'Tis August 8th,
Another August 8th,
Another anniversary
Of the beginning
Of my earth sojourn.
The 60th anniversary 
Of the beginning
Of my sojourn on earth,
Another jinx broken.

With worthy ofspring
And devoted conjugal partner,
With robust health
And clean prosperity,
I knell 
And gaze heaven wards
In praises to the Almighty
Who sits in heaven,
The earth his footstool.

I render apologies
Even if I am not guilty.

I hold no grudges,
I demand no apologies,
I have no complaints.

I knell also 
In supplication to heaven
To grant us earth dwellers 
An earth suffused
With positive surpluses.
