In Which The Birthday Bonfires Are Lit for @MrsNic08

You see that Bonnie Nic has got great taste

In books and many other things as well.

And though these lines are written in some haste

(Your sonneteer is in a kind of hell

Since Bonnie's baby daughter shared her germs),

A day like this cannot pass by unmarked;

It's Bonnie's birthday, and like all good nerds

She needs a sonnet; now the Bonfire's sparked

(For that's her nickname and she's earned it so!),

And celebrations must commence anon

(They have been going on since Tuesday, though,

A pirate raid on bookstore close upon

The heels of sushi-scarfing), Bonnie, dear,

Congrats; you've made it through another year!
