Mike Hahn's wife set up a surprize birthday dinner to celebrate his 50th birthday.
Having worked with Mike at Northrop before I retired, I wrote the following rhyme as part of his "roast". Mike is a very quiet fellow and has worked many years in the Materials Research Department at Northrop. Mike is also very adept at brewing his own beer - I know because I have partaken of many a bottle over the years.

MIKE AT FIFTY

If you’ve got a few minutes
I’ll tell you a yarn,
About a young fellow,
Whose name is Mike Hahn.

Now Mike doesn’t say much,
But when he’s provoked,
He’ll climb on his high horse,
And get kind of stoked.

He’s gentle of manner,
And quiet to a tee.
But if he gets angry.
It is scary to see.

However, he’s mostly
A hell of a guy.
Mike’s great fun to be with.
Now, I’ll tell you why.

Well, over the years
He's drunk gallons of beer.
And at fifty years old,
Mike is finally here.

‘Cos all of that beer
Has preserved him quite well.
For it’s all in the suds,
And it's not hard to tell.

So lift up a tall one,
And wish him good luck.
For he's working at Northrop,
In search of a buck.

Five-oh may be special,
But it doesn’t compare
To the three-oh that’s coming.
If Mike is still there!
