Ninety-Eight

Today my aunt turns 98

And for her age, she’s doing great,

So we came down to celebrate,

The least that we can do.


We schmoozed a little yesterday 

With snacks we picked up on the way 

And brought an ice cream treat today

(Since I had craved one, too).


Then on to mah jongg in a place

Where seniors gather, face to face,

To play a game they all embrace

(The rules of which I knew).


Two hours flew by and then back where

Three huge bouquets were waiting there,

Plus cards and phone calls, all to share

Her birthday, right on cue.


Tonight, there’ll be a dinner out;

That’s what a birthday’s all about,

And at that age, there is no doubt

Best wishes sure are due.
