My Birthday The Year 2008

Well!  Will you looky here-
Another year running down the hallway
of
birthday cakes and pretty ribbons-
Just ribbons, ya know, no presents.
If you all are a wonderin’
I’m 39 again.
Now .......I’m the same age as my son-
Next year he will be older then me.
Now bein’ a man he does not agree-
But you gals understand what I’m a talkin’ bout.
Another bottle of Clairol to cover those lighter shades-
HeeHee
Don’t ya think that was a neat way to get around
GRAY!
A few more pounds that’s a stickin’ like glue-
While a twenty year old, a hot chicky mama, is a tellin’ me how
easy it is to lose.
Wait until .......she’s...... 39 again.
I still have all my teeth and my other body parts-
A few are missing, but I’m sure no one will notice.
A friend of mine is a makin’ me a birthday cake-
I sure do hope she don’t put all them thar candles on the silly thing
Cause the fire department will be a comin’ for sure.
Now ya all can sing me a song-
But please don’t be traditional.
Ya all can sing, let me see now...... Wild Thing, Get Over It,  
Wastin’ Away In Margaritaville or Goin’ On a Sea Cruise.
Now come on guys don’t be bashful
Sing Me A Song....................

Hugs
BonBon

Hello
Thank you for reading this birthday silliness. As I get older I creak a little here, creak a little there. My mind.....
WELL...... is still a little strange and I can still laugh at myself.
Thanks again.
Hugs
