Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on November 07, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Stan! Another year wiser and still radiating brilliance—much like your pigs. Your poetry continues to inspire us all; who knew that "Whiteboy" would age better than fine wine? Clearly, teaching creative writing at San Francisco State University has kept you sharp enough to rhyme circles around the rest of us.

Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as your literary successes have brought readers everywhere. May your day be filled with laughter, cake (preferably pig-shaped), and endless inspiration for more poetic masterpieces. Keep dazzling us—you've set a high bar in verse that's tough to beat!
