A June Six Birthday Seventy One This Year
A gregarious man
A big hearted man
A laid low man
A easy to love man
Lost it the day he was born
It?: brain cells all out of line
It?: acumen agility ability
Understanding being silly
But kept his stamina his love his senses
Twenty twenty pitch perfect articulate
Sings a song of sixpence, tells a dirty joke
Laughs out loud with a beer joint smile
He’s six two but wait, when he was four
Took a hit for a family of twelve
Was the only one to get polio
Nineteen and fifty seven
A gregarious man
A big hearted man
A laid low man
A easy man to love

Sounds like a great guy. Really loved “Sings a song of sixpence, tells a dirty joke/Laughs out loud with a beer joint smile”.
A easy man to love. Despite all the bad luck and disability, this man shines. He has more riches than most. Well said.
I like the next to last stanza the best. All the numbers feel like divine symmetry.
