Today is my dad's birthday. Below is the poem we all wrote for his birthday dinner invitation, reproduced with permission (assumed permission, that is.) Hope you enjoy!
Also a birthday shout out to "Eduardo" one of my favorite cousins-in-law.
Way back in 1945, the world was still war-torn
And maybe unprepared for little Marc to be born
Marc paid great attention to girls & cars that were cool
But he didn't fret about studying or doing well in school
Even so, at SMU he really went quite far
First undergrad, then law school & easily passed the bar
Marc started his own practice and finally married Ann
They had three lovely children as fast as parents can
He knew so much law that he was a borderline dork
So he moved on to shooting and revamping Elm Fork
Marc's a businessman and trial lawyer extraordinaire
Who now goes to court with slightly thinner hair
He is a husband and father with the utmost devotion
Everything he does is "Marc"ed with great emotion
Join us to eat and drink as Marc turns 65
He wants us to celebrate - he's happy to be alive!
