Hi Carolyn

I saw your contest for the Birthday poems, but all of my are too long.  

I am sending them on here, so you can still read them and maybe show
it to the birthday girls/boys.

Poem 1.
Sometimes I am in denial
I'm starting to go senile
Forgetting things more and more
My minds closing up its door
My kids and hubby have a laugh
Having fun on my behalf
Turning it into a game
To lessen my fear and shame
There's no chance I'll be improving
They keep me happy with amusing
Stories of my grand adventures
Like forgetting my new dentures
In a box on the cab seat
Making it so hard to eat
Or buying a pretty dress
So that I can look my best
Getting lots of silly stares
Without my bra and underwear
Food shopping does not go well
My family can never tell
What is going to be made
Home made soup or braised lampshade
A chore that I should never do
Is washing the clothes for you
Red and white clothes joined in bleach
Turns them pink just like a peach
My antics is what you'll see
Every day you are with me
My family is never down
When they have a live in clown
Acting crazy and so weird
From a disease everyone fears

Poem 2.
Happy Birthday To Me
I'm Old As Can Be
I Am Forgetful 
And Lost My Memory
I Need Glasses To See
My Eyesight Will Flee
My Ears Constantly
Need Help To Hear Thee
To Bed I Will Be
My Dreams Are Set Free
I Soon Will Be Snoring
A Whole Lot Of ZZZZZZ's

Have a wonderful day

My birthday is not until November, but I can appreciate both of these entries. By the way, here's "Lies" by the Knickerbockers:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7DQGHU3W3U

Robin, sweetie, you can easily solve the problem. Take poem two and double up the lines. It's all monorhyme, so you can do line one: Happy Birthday to me, I'm old as can be. Line two: use next two small lines of your poem. You will end up with only six lines!! Love that second one too.

Dear Robin, These are both VERY funny! I hope you will put the second one in the contest. I'm flexible with the number of lines when the contest is this witty. I will definitely be using it in the Birthday Booklet. I'll call it "Happy Birthday to Me." Thank you so much! Love, Carolyn
