I'm afraid that a poet I'm not,
Strained rhymes, broken meter I've got,
But today Rose turns one,
So I thought it'd be fun,
To try and give it a shot.

ROSE MARIE & WINNIE JO
Springtime brings the blooming flowers,
Gentle rain that lasts for hours,
Baseball, Easter, pontoons, biking,
Outdoor dining, lakeside hiking.
But there are two even better reasons
Why spring's become the best of seasons.
May then April, an eleven month span,
The Dynamic Duo's birthdays, I'm a lucky man.
Two petite angels, Rose Marie and Winnie Jo,
Have made their grand entry, I love them so.
Winnie's eyes are crystal blue, Rosie's cocoa brown,
They're the coolest cuddly chicks in any Minnesota town.
The Petal lives up on The Hill, The Princess in The Park,
Those precious little babies have a big piece of my heart.
I love to watch them sleeping as they're swaddled nice and snug,
Even better when they're wide awake, I can't resist a hug.
They have the cutest toes, the softest skin and pretty smiles,
They might be tiny munchkins but they've created their own styles.
I hope when they grow up they form a friendship and a bond,
That sister act would bring such joy to me and Momma Cuan.
I'm sure the time will come when they will have a lot to say,
When they call me "Grandpa Johnny" that will be my favorite day.
I plan to go to all their games, concerts and school plays,
(Just don't ask for Science Fair help, I think we'll be okay.)
You can have all the celebrities in People Magazine,
Models, singers, movie stars, and all the beauty queens,
Angelina, Scarlett, Gwyneth, Halle and J Lo,
I'd rather spend my time with Rose Marie and Winnie Jo.
