Barnhart Birthday Girl (we have two!)


Soon there'll be a birthday girl, whose name I shall withhold;
I'll write a little riddle and you guess who and how old.

She didn't use to smile a lot, when she was very young,
A pouty lip would often protrude well beyond her tongue.

And then would come a backward kick to ward off woud-be teasing;
Ah.....you know of whom I speak, but now she's much more pleasing.

In fact she wants to help mankind, Music Therapy to them bring;
And one of the ways to do so would by by gui'tar string.

So as you solve this riddle, and guess just who she be,
You also may be wanting a birthday ide-e (altered for rhyming purposes!)

She wants to buy a gui'tar and play with lots of soul,
And grateful she would be for contributions toward her goal!

Cute poem! But wondering about the "gui'tar" spelling. Is that they way they say it in Music Therapy circles?

No, that's the way Mom punctuated it, to put a heavy accent on the first sylla'ble:)
