Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on June 17, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Kit Wright! May your celebrations be short enough to fill an afternoon with laughter and joy—but certainly longer than the bear's look over that mountain! Your poems have lightened hearts and tickled funny bones through decades, a timeless remedy against seriousness.

Your verses from "Hoping It Might Be So" still float gently in readers' memories, delighting generations with playfulness and wit. Whether you're penning rhymes or inspiring youthful imaginations, your delightful legacy never loses its spark. Here's hoping today brings poetic gifts worth celebrating—though you've clearly cornered that market already!

Cheers to another wonderful chapter ahead!
