On Rob’s 99th Birthday in 2018

6-20-2018=19

Rob’s 99thbirthday sums to 19.

Both numbers are in titles of TV shows I’ve seen.

There’s the police officers show, Brooklyn 99,

 hilarious  banter and perfectly fine.

Then there’s the firefighters show, Station 19,

which excels in high drama rarely seen.

After writing the above, I turned on the TV.

We had taped the show, Timeless,

and what did I see?

In their time-machine

they went to Rob’s birth year of 1919.

Talking to mrl  on the phone about it all

I received a satellite TV robocall.

Jane called these timely events unofficial information.

Changing a word here, a word  there, I made  a correction.

Upon reflection, today  is Jane’s birthday.

Here’s to you, Jane! In your and Rob’s  honor,

 here’s some of  the story,

still not a perfection.
