The Legend of Mike WhiteAs small children do, we were starving for sweets but mom wouldn't let us cross the street,So the eldest of five, THE creative child,Hopped on his bike and away he would ride.He went to the store, so brave and so bold.And he bought a whole sackful of goodies untold. He rode home so swiftly with his chocolates and gum,Then went straight to his room and wouldn't let us have some.He liked to find ways to make lots of money So he marked up the price found it quite funny. He sold us that candy at a ridiculous price We were desperate for the stuff and didn't care if he was nice.He's always been generous with his practical jokes,Getting revenge has been a goal for most of us folks.Just before the Big Game, he turned off Pat's cable. At family dinners, who knows what to expect at the table.One day Pat's secret chocolate bar didn't taste quite right.It had been re-packaged with salt tablets the previous night.He locked little Deb in the closet for an eternity Just listening to her laugh, was entertaining most certainly.As long as we've known, his humor has been so lusterousAnd now he deserves all the attention we can musterous.Please join me in telling him how happy we are todayFor MIKE WHITE is FORTY on the twenty-seventh day of May.Happy birthday Mike...your loving sis (now unlock the closet)!
