Happy birthday, Paul Eerik Rummo! Poet by heart and politician by profession—what a rare blend of rhyme and reason. Your verses captured Estonia's spirit brilliantly in the 1970s-80s; now you're crafting policies rather than poetry stanzas. Still bringing harmony to complicated rhythms like population dynamics and ethnic affairs!From beloved lines that warmed hearts decades ago to your dedicated leadership as Minister paving paths for diversity—here’s hoping you celebrate with fewer parliamentary debates today, more poetic freedom (and cake)! May this year bring laughter-worthy speeches, cheerful constituents reminding you fondly about favorite poems—and perhaps inspiration enough for another witty verse or two?
