An Ode to Neilochka on his Birthday

Neil is a blogger who invites us to play
Most of us (not me much) read Neil every day

When Neil asked me to, I shared with him my bed
In response, I have wondered what his penis said

To Emily Dickinson, Neil became a fixation
Her constant IM’ing nearly wrecked his vacation

For a hip Rosh Hoshanna, Neil attended a gay synagogue
But Sophia’s new year’s adventure kind of trumped Neilochka’s blog

‘Cross the country, he danced their first wedding dance for Sophia
He wants all guys to whip out their stuff at Ikea

His Christmahanukwanzaakah concert had a brief intermission
Avoid cheap Torrance sushi, due to the unsanitary condition

We’ve tried very hard to keep this carnival a hush
Because truthfully we’re competing to be his blog crush

Though Neilochka never did learn to work a brassiere
We pay tribute as he leads us to Be of Good Cheer.
