For Edric, The Parentally Challenged

Friends, let us commemorate the birth
Of him who casts his name in infamy
With questions on his parentage, and worth.
He chose his name. No arguments from me.
His cause for celebration, I presume,
Because he has survived twenty one years,
Finally, he’s able to consume
To his heart’s content , of legal beers.
So lift a glass, and join in his refrain,
And may he long continue to endure.
Despite his lack of stature, in his brain,
He’s going to authorize next week, for sure.
I toast you, Edric. Your greatest claim to fame
Is how bastardy, in you, gets a bad name.
