Promptly 4 and 5

Celebration

Celebration

Twenty-four today, twice twelve,
scribbler’s ship sails on,
literary legend so loquacious,
vaunted vessel of valiant view.

So sails the ship on spider’s seas,
wanderer of web, warp and woof,
gallant the galleon, great the game,
she bends to the briny breeze.

Calls to the captain the clever crew,
cheers to the challenge of twenty-four more,
roistering rum ration raised to the roof,
sozzled the scribes in sweet sentiment.

Alike in action, all assert their aim,
onward only to open ocean,
they raise their glasses in tumult and praise,
birthday the happiest to Writing dot com!
