10-10-10------ A birthday Poem. (for celebrants)

Ten-Ten-Ten,
Triple Ten.
Tenth day, of the
Tenth month, of the
Tenth year, of the
The new millennium.
Ten fast years since gone.

On a scale of Ten,
The perfect score.
For competitive sports,
for best performance.
For grading pain on a scale,
for worst pain.
Gauging contentment,
for most content.
For scoring tests,
Ten for flying colors.

The perfect ten, hard to grab,
but nonetheless,can be
attained through great strain.
Pushing self to the limit
in sports, or facing great pain
in sickness or injury.
Burning the midnight oil,
To grab that great spoil---
The perfect score of Ten.

Ten-Ten-Ten
Triple ten
Like a triple crown,
Sits on heads today,
Birthdays, Anniversaries,
Regular,everything day.

Triple numbers come and go,
But ten-ten-ten, no ordinary set,
will soon be on the go.
Wear it like a crown, so brief you bet,
But a triple crown of a lifetime,
Nevertheless.
I wear mine, for a special day,
to be remembered forever.
