A Mercurial Sixty

A Sonnet For My Mate Jim's Sixtieth Birthday

By Mike Singleton πŸ’œ Mikeydred Published 2 years ago β€’ Updated 2 years ago β€’ 1 min read
Jim and Sir Brian May Of Queen. Brian liked Jim's shirt.

Next January My mate Jim turns sixty. He is a top friend, a great singer, and a huge Queen fan, often meeting with band members and his Queen scrapbook collection was used as part of the documentation for a Queen DVD.

A Truly Great guy.

When One Of Your Mates Is Sir Brian May

There Is Not A Lot Left For Me To Say

Without A Doubt A Queen Number One Fan

I'll Pen Some Words For You Mate If I Can

πŸŽΈπŸŽ€πŸ‘‘

Know How Much You Love Freddie Bulsara

But You Can Carry A Fine Tune Yourself

With The Deputies, Showmen And Others

On Stage, You Are A Frontman, Class As Hell

πŸŽΈπŸŽ€πŸ‘‘

Jim, You Are A Wonderful Performer

Just Like Brian, Roger, Freddie, And John

Singing Songs By Queen And Many Others

So Make Sure That You Keep On Keeping On

πŸŽΈπŸŽ€πŸ‘‘

Happy Birthday Mister Jim Stevenson

Onward, May Your Bright Star Shine Ever On
