HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRO!

There was a star danced, and under that was I born.
--Shakespeare

Will wrote those words for Much Ado About
Nothing
. But we Armbrusts cheer much ado
about something: Most historians shout
how the Ides of March found fame when brutes slew
Caesar. But we all saw the history
game change way back in 1938.
On that March 15, it’s no mystery
how in the heavens our brightest star, great
Sirius, witnessed my big brother’s birth,
heard America’s number one hit song—
Seven Dwarfs singing in their dancing mirth,
“Whistle While You Work”—and through heaven’s long
smile glowing Sirius danced the limbo,
assuring a great life for my big bro!

Love and Happy Birthday, Brother!

Bless,
Roger
