Birthday Haikus

By Joel on January 14, 2008 in haiku.

Today is my sister Erin's 26th birthday, so we wrote her a few haikus.

Heather Joel Mom Dad
You thought I liked Joel
when we met four years ago,
and now we're sisters. 		Twenty-six years old,
one year for every letter
in the alphabet.		 Erin, our daughter,
you are a beautiful girl;
we love you a lot.		 Erin, my daughter,
twenty-six and much smarter
than your old father.

Happy birthday, Erin!

Cute! Has Grandpa taught her the word Duroc yet? Take care!
