Lions and cakes

To the lady with the most playful of names,
Whose name's the most beautiful sound
Jake has ever heard.

ROQUITA.

To the woman with the most infectious of laughters,
Whose smile's the most sincere one
Jake has ever glimpsed.

EKIT.

To the señorita who eats lions for breakfast,
Whose toughness is the only thing
Jake will ever fear.

DOÑA RUTH.

To the girl who craves cakes for desserts,
Whose sweetness the most ironic anomaly
Jake has ever encountered.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Lions and Cakes

This is a birthday poem in lieu of a message I wrote for an office mate's birthday. Every time somebody celebrates a birthday, one of my office mates would collect messages and create a powerpoint presentation to be sent to the celebrant a day or so before his or her birthday.

August 7 - Happy birthday, Ekit.
