Shhh, Don’t Tell Nan (yet) – Justin Needs Your Help

This morning, half awake, I heard a noise unknown to me,
I thought I was still dreaming, but it was reality.
A voice resounded through the 'Stute, demanding to create
A poem for Nancy, 'cause her Birthday's on the 28th .
.
"A poem for Nancy Ness?" I cried, "I rather would go blind!
First Lady of these pages blue! - you surely lost your mind!
How will I ever find the words to tell her what she means
To all the poets here at PIP - Nan is the Queen of queens!

The queen of hearts and even more the queen of poetry,
To even try to equal that would be insanity!
And tell me where to find the words to thank her for the time
She puts into the Workshop, teaching rhythm, form and rhyme?

Oh please give me a break, it's perfect she deserves, no less,
And I am known to turn a poem into a witty mess."
"Ok, you've made your point, but on a poem I must insist,
So go and ask your fellow poets kindly to assist,

'Cause each might have some words to write, some free verse, some in rhyme
And if you do it right away, you might be just in time
To please this special Lady with a poem the 28th ;
A Birthday gift from all of you, now go and have some fate!"

So poets here I stand and ask for help in my despair,
For writing Nan a Justin poem seems anything but fair.
I end my plea with wishing Nan: "Good Health and Happiness,
And Happy Birthday dearest friend, we love you Nancy Ness.
