It's my birthday soon
The second of December
I don't want the stars or moon
I want to be remembered

Receive well wishes for future years
Think of birthdays gone
Remind me of the joy and tears
My life has brought along

I'd like you to recognize
The art I gift to life
Create praise before my eyes
Minimize my times of strife

Offer pearls of wisdom
And wishes of good cheer
These the jewels in my kingdom
The things that keep me here

And if you can think of it
As you raise your glass in toast
Recall affection, is a little bit
Found in the "American roast"



Why do yesterdays remain and todays pass by ...unnoticed?

a December sister
and say
Happy Birthday
today, many times from
now till 12/2
how I wish
the best for you!

Well Happy Birthday Kethry dear,
Now you've had another year,
Are you tired, bored or down?
Are you the oldest in your town?

Think of this, it could be worse,
Could be a birthday in a hearst,
gettin' older ain't so bad,
Look at me, sweet old Toerag.

Got my health, got some cash
got some beer and a tad of stash,
Not like some, like Balladeer,
Viagra 'scripts good for a year

So Happy Birthday kangaroo gal,
From your Toerag yankee pal,
Have a toast from me to you,
In fact g'head and have a few.

Well, ok, my dear Kethry
I'll try hard not to fail ya
I didn't even know that they had
Birthdays in Austrailia!

How nice that you remind me of
Your birthday in your rhymes
I guarantee I won't forget...
You've done it 15 times!

How could you be so dastardly?
Oh, what a dirty trick!
When you put in your birthday suit
Does that mean you're in the nick???

I'd like to go on with these barbs
But I am in a quandry
(Besides, I'm a little rushed right now
From doing dirty laundry)

The quandry is that I don't want
To insult someone who
Has come to be so close to me...
Aw, darnit! I LIKE you!!  

You've shown yourself to be so kind
And generous to all
A man that would insult ya
Would be just Neanderthal!

No, I'll just raise a glass of cheer
On this December two
And give thank to the guy above
That he gave this world - YOU!  

Can I roast ya on the barbie instead for dinner?

ethome,
hey there picnic pal, would I do that  
The smirk is cause I got a secret about who's getting the next tribute. No ain't telling. See enigmatic smile.

Live well
