Happy Humpwhistle Birthday

His name's Lee Allen Hill, but Humpwhistle is his pen-name

2010 joined FanStory, and since he's earned some fame



It's only fitting when Humpwhistle's Birthday's on Humpday 

That we would honor him in a biographical way



With quite a list of contest wins he's had since he's been here

And more accomplishments, with three times "Writer of the Year"



He's six foot-five, a pony tail, and he wears a big smile

You'll never hear him brag of this, but giving is his style



He is from the Northeast, from the state of Connecticut 

And if you ask Lee's friends, they'll say that he can be a nut



If he is writing dialogue, his humor often shows

His dialect and accents are specifics that he knows



His sister, Linda, is the most important in his life

A few of his relationships, may have ended in strife



His music has to mean as much as his passion to write

A perfect harmony of all his talents that delight


His buddies, Mark and Steve, are with him in a band, "Old Hat"

We leave next week, so, Lee, will you fly in and watch my cat



When he's more serious, he writes a lot more non~fiction

When telling about women in his life, there's more friction



To quote him is to say that, "Good fiction is a Good lie"

And "Great fiction's a Greater lie" our Lee is a smart guy



A die-hard-Boston Red Sox fan, where his parents would spark

His dad says Lee was conceived there, at Boston's, Fenway Park



Lee was a folksinger hippie back in the Seventies 

Creative director of advertising agencies



He left the world of commerce; he'd retake his Hippie Vows

He concentrates on short stories and now for us he "Wows!"



With friends, wrote "12 New Christmas Stories ~ their Anthology"

They're lovely stories, real or not, some are mythology



Past credits, published, weekly slots at a Writers Showcase

Wherever you find Humpwhistle, he's happy in his space



Let us close this with thanking Lee the very best we can


And Happy Birthday to an extraordinary man

Like Dylan, Lee knew deep inside, we're all complete unknown
