A Toast

Here's a toast to your good health and to multiply your wealth May God's blessings overwhelm you with delight Tell your worries and your debts and those lingering regrets to go take a running jump and fly a kite May your joys outweigh your tears all throughout the coming years too much dreariness is such a bloody farce May the things you're seeking after fill your days and nights with laughter and prosperity come bite you in the ar$e May your friends be true and blue and be always there for you Let there be so many that you cannot count May you age with style and grace with no wrinkles on your face like you've just been drinking from that youthful fount May you find yourself a' falling when your true love comes a' calling and your lives together be a dream come true So, you'll need a bigger bed for the night that you are wed safely snuggled with your true love next to you

I love the way you out-foxed the censors with this one: "May the things you're seeking after fill your days and nights with laughter and prosperity come bite you in the ar$e". I may have to try it if you do not mind. Well-said, my friend!

I didn't think that word typed with an actual "s" would be a problem, but when I went back to read it, it turned into 4 asterisks! So I tried the dollar sign and whammo! :)
