Happy Birthday, Vint Cerf! 🎉 *The Man Who Connected Us All*

There once was a man with snazzy ties galore,
  Who gave us a network we couldn't ignore.
With TCP/IP he and his co-creators connected the world,
  And a banner of connections was forever unfurled.

Keynotes at PeaceTech & The Stimson Center inspiring change,
  While global leaders listen fully to his ideas & exchange.
The People-Centered Internet coalition activated to care,
  Working to ensure tech benefits are equally shared.

My young son thinks Vint conjured the 'Net with a wand,
  Where magic meets engineering, he's particularly fond!
"Mr. Vint makes computers talk," he once said with delight,
  (Though currently my son cares if science videos stream right!)

From Commission discussions on data and tech,
  To casual chats inviting all to dream and reflect,
Vint's friendship is a gift that keeps giving each day,
  In this interconnected world you helped pave the way.

Happy Birthday to the most dapper tech genius I know!
  May your cache always be full, and your latency low!
