The following was written in celebration of my father's 87th birthday, by his brother Peter.

FOR ENGLISH MOROCCO
AKA BILL, BILLY, WILLY
AT FOUR SCORE AND SEVEN YEARS
I’ll not waste time, I’ll be quite quick
Explaining what makes Billy tick
Our nation’s reeling, it’s heading for a fall
Yet my bro’s focus is on major-league ball
Critics suspect the President’s in a coma
But Bill stays glued on Terry Francona
Although Bush hunts vainly for baddies under rocks
Bill’s obsession is them Boston Sox
Bush says no to partial birth abortions
And Bill says yes to Fenway’s fortunes
He knows our homeland is going to pot
But his own greatest fear is that Jeter may get hot
But now’s the time for laughter and mirth
Marking the day of Big Brother’s birth
Let good times roll, I wish you well
And may those Yankees go to hell
