Happy Big 4-0!
As his 30’s come to an end and with 40 just ahead,
On this special occasion there are some things that need to be said.
Uncle Mike is a man, in which few people can compare,
Starting at the top of his head where there is little to no hair.
Little isn’t the word to describe his belly fat,
Jimmy Jr. in the making…put that on a tat.
He’s got a way with words, just ask the lady from the bank,
He called the big gal a hoss, he obviously didn’t think.
She wanted to ride up in the bucket, but was afraid she was too big,
He assured her she would be fine, after all it’s a two-man rig.
He fell into a pool, that’s how the story was told,
He should start being more careful now that he’s getting to be so old.
If you see his truck on the side of the road and he’s headed toward the ditches,
Don’t stop, keep driving…he’s about to poop his britches.
All jokes aside, it’s time to get real,
And show him what he means to us and how we really feel.
They say you can’t choose your family and that’s exactly what we did,
He’s been my Uncle Mike since I was practically a kid.
To my dad he’s like a brother and for that I’d like to say,
Thank you for that friendship and the special role you play.
He’s one of the most hard working, caring, thoughtful and giving people I know,
I love you, Uncle Mike, Happy Big 4-0!
Love,
Jess
