My dear friend you may be older But the years I’ve spent with you Will always bring a smile to my face Just like the one I‘stuck’ on you. These ears will hear the laughter Though you can’t hear it with me But somehow yours went missing Somewhere in the old pantry Your body may rot now and then If not changed out in time But I remember playing with you And so, I pen this rhyme Many hours of pleasure were had Making a new man out of you Each time I played with your sweet head You became someone brand new As you celebrate this fiftieth year Accept all accolades as said You are a man who daily changes Happy Birthday Mr. Potato Head |

i won't even pretend to understand this but so many lines gave me a smile that I had to respond. (Though, I do believe I have a clue) And so Happy Birthday from me to you. (Him wouldn't have rhymed...lol) It's late...bear with me. |

 Believe it or not he got passed down to a second generation in our house and is still withstanding the mistreatment.  Oh this was just too cute and I sent it to my family. He is a great toy even at 50 years old.photo from CNN http://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/News/02/05/mr.potato.head/index.html ~* Carpe' Diem *~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (02-06-2002 04:49 AM).] |

Posted on 3/9/2000 She’s just a girl with everything Nice house, fast car, good friends Clothes the envy of any model Perfect hair. Look no split ends! Adored by the masses you see She creates riots in the mall Everyone wants a piece of her She’s a perfect little doll. Ladies, go seek in your closet The version you stashed there Men, just sit back and think About her long blonde hair Today, she celebrates a birthday Can a girl really tell her age? Happy Birthday Barbie You get better as you age |
