GERALD

Two hundred percent double-barreled
Our harbinger of happiness, our herald

We laud him at length
For his savvy, his strength —

We’re speaking, of course, about Gerald

Don’t be fooled by his easy jocularity —
His mind has a laser-beam clarity:

Broad comprehension,
Sharp focused attention —

Truly, this man is a rarity

Gerald is driven — by data
For him every test is a beta

Facts are his friends
He teases out trends —

He is worth millions (pro rata)

Gerald eats data for dinner
With a grasp spanning outer to inner

Add his proclivity
For sheer creativity —

Truly, this man is a winner

In social media Gerald is thriving
Facebook and Twitter — high fiving

Snapchat – he’s jiving
Tumblr — deep diving

With Gerald, man, we are arriving

So get ready for inquiries, apps
He’s putting us clearly on maps

This marathon runner
This finish line stunner —

We’ll cheer him in victory laps

A professor of widespread acclaim
An author — a book bears his name

A consultant who’s known
By successes he’s shown —

He deserves every bit of his fame

May his name be incanted and caroled —
With praises and plaudits appareled —

He’s back with the home team
The great Golden Dome team —

Lead us to victory, Gerald!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GERALD!
