On this day, we toast to Gareth's birth, A tale of roots, from Irish earth to Aussie turf. Once a hippie with curls wild and free, Now a charming wit, as bright as can be. He whistles tunes, his parrots his choir, Laughter in his eyes, mischief in the fire. A teller of tales, both grand and small, In the chatter of life, he masters it all. His dad jokes echo, a whimsical ring, In data's vast realm, he reigns as king. A peacemaker's heart, gentle yet strong, With stories and laughter, he rights every wrong. So here’s to Gareth, full of life and delight, A tapestry of tales that dance in our sight. May your journey be bright, your birthdays abound, In your world of joy, may love always be found.
