Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on August 20, 1948)

Happy Birthday, Bill Griffiths! Today we celebrate the poet whose words danced boldly through dialects and whose verses built mud forts sturdier than castles. Your poetry continues to spill cities of imagination into our minds, making us chuckle and ponder simultaneously. Even posthumously, your early poems published in 2010 remind us that brilliance never fades—it just ages gracefully like fine literary wine.

From scholarly pursuits to linguistic adventures, you've given us countless reasons to smile (and scratch our heads). Here's raising a toast—may your legacy rhyme eternally with laughter and inspiration. Cheers to you, Bill; your poetic wit remains timeless!
