Planning ahead for Stephen's 50th birthday party

I hope they have big enough balls for grownups.

The 40th was fun at the Velodrome.

The 50th should be better, we'll line up for hours

to get in our own bubble and play.

The birthday boy will hog his bubble for hours

only exiting for a beer and some tacos, and

finally to blow out all 50 candles.  

not enough play in the this world between 

ISIS blowing up antiquities in Palmyra and

immigrants drowning in sea, the tragedies

will never end.

It's worth having moments of childish fun,

it's hard enough being a grownup.
