"A penny for your thoughts," is often said in jest,
Amusing it may seem, but sometimes caution would be best,
For you could open Pandora's box in a clumsy sort of way,
But, by heck it's Jan's Birthday so sod caution for today!
Jan's growing older gracefully, it's hard she confesses,
An occasional bevy, (medicinal), but definitely no excesses,
She lives down on the coast; an occasional dip in the sea?
Sometimes treats her eyes to a rest, just before afternoon tea!
Perched serenely at her keyboard, carefully choosing her lines,
Says, "I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard at times,"
Despite being fearless, Jan usually posts with decorum.
Often dispensing her sagacious views, within Dover forum.
Age is just a number, Birthdays don't bother Jan one bit,
As daily with her cat in tow, skips to the shops to keep fit,
This year Jan is **yrs young, (a girl's age is her secret you see),
But I won't tell a soul that next year, her TV licence is free!
