tribute to Kathy and Mike
It's such a pleasure to have it confirmed
that you are still around, Mike,
and that we have never lost you.
Kathy is your crownéd princess still,
and she keeps up our poetry
with flying colours of the highest quality
in your name for not only you to still be proud of.
Celebrating you this day is already a tradition,
Kathy, on the day of Herman Melville
and his elder sailing writing colleague Henry Dana,
and we do it now with even greater emphasis
because of the regretted absence of our missing Mike,
although our celebration at the same time
for the character it takes
becomes sincerely a reminder
of his being still around
and being with us
most of all with you, of course.
Accept my humble celebration on your birthday,
as I ever will continue to accept
that Mike was here
to never leave us.

We just have to accept it
It's such a pleasure to have it confirmed
that you are still around, Mike,
and that we have never lost you.
Kathy is your crownéd princess still,
and she keeps up our poetry
with flying colours of the highest quality
in your name for not only you to still be proud of.
Celebrating you this day is already a tradition,
Kathy, on the day of Herman Melville
and his elder sailing writing colleague Henry Dana,
and we do it now with even greater emphasis
because of the regretted absence of our missing Mike,
although our celebration at the same time

Accept my humble celebration on your birthday,
as I ever will continue to accept
that Mike was here
