My sister wrote me two birthday limericks.

There once was a sister called Kimberly
Who said, "Come to Florida! Be with me!"
We swam in the sun
Until damage was done.
Who knew she would have an emergency?*

In your fifty years of living
You've been generous, kind and giving.
It's never a bore!
Stay cool for some more!
And let's do this again! Here's to Kimming!

I adore my sisters, and miss them so much.

* As I stood in the surf with my sisters, a wave hit me just right (wrong) in the knee and tore a ligament and strained the ACL. Grr.

There once was a woman named Kimberly
Who could dazzle when dancing quite limberly
Her male escort, he balked
When onlookers they talked
She just wanted to lead -- not make him girly.

I hope your birthday was both happy and FUN!!!
