designed, manufactured and delivered on time
Michelle and Karl who constructed this award winner
have got to keep sucking the odd lemon or lime
In my life I've laboured on many a project
wearin a blue,white, old or gold collar
but on comparing his progress on a bar chart
he's zooming ahead like the almighty dollar
His critical path, realistically scheduled, lies directly ahead
for now it's the activity nodes that matter
have we enough float to bring him in on time
the former's as important as the latter
His parents will direct him, firm targets in mind
charting his progress with pictures and reports
and as he moves with the seasons and his mind expands ...
into the music and arts I hope, not bloody sports
He'll grow up to be what fate will decree
with a nudge here, a push there, a recovery plan
we want to be around to see the project complete
when the boy is father to the man
Rohan James Mendis, a tough project to follow
unique, specific, one-time and never to be repeated
his scope and development plotted with inputs
and us cheering him on standing, unable to remain seated
As he achieves each stage in his life's project
we'll be watching with trepidation and joy
each target met will be celebrated with our cries
"What a ripper, a beauty, a bobby-dazzler ... he's our boy!"

Jeez, but you're one proud G-diddy ...
Ditto to what Rog said.
Am looking forward to my own, so I too, will have something to say, on that inevitable day.
When Shem turned 21, I did a similar thing. I've posted it on my blog. While your 'Project' is a homage, 'An ode to Shem' can only be described as an embarrassment- that's what 21st are for...isn't it?
