Happy Birthday brother...

I rarely bought cards for relatives or friends on their birthdays, commemorating the day with a poem,especially written for them on that day. Only two copies existed-- one with me and the other for the intended.
This I wrote fro my brother at 14...

Though you are oft a naughty boy
and you have the credit too
of being the one who can drive me mad
as no one else can do...

...yet you have many good points too
which I'll just enumerate
but don't you get a swollen head
let's get this matter straight...

your logic knocks me out for six
your precision makes me 'J'
But alas you can't replace Doc Spock
you're warm emotional and gay!

And though I like Spock very much
I'll tell you something true
I'm rather relieved that you're not him
and glad that you are YOU!

So one this day I pray for you
to have the best my dear
and that love luck and life remain
with you year after year!

Happy Birthday Bro! Written for Roshan on 18 September 1984
