With skill and quick as lightning
move his hands across the keys!
The joy we feel is heightening,
and our stress begins to ease.
We watch him play with ardor
while he’s swaying to the beat;
it makes the hearts pound harder
within fans in every seat.
With genius such as he has,
one can’t help but be impressed.
The nighttime world of Vegas Jazz,
with our Uli, has been blessed!
As one of his supporters,
I am proud to call him friend.
And acting as our headquarters,
The Dispensary’s “the end!”
His deftness equals fanfare;
many come to hear him play.
And on those nights he can’t be there,
I’ve seen looks of great dismay….
For no one else is like him
in appearance or at heart!
With German accent, tall and slim,
worldly charm sets him apart.
His passion while performing
or when stealing fries from me
is genuine and heartwarming,
and it’s there for all to see!
This poem marks his birthday,
and if I can post on time,
then on dear Uli’s special day,
he’ll enjoy my quirky rhyme.
