Happy Birthday!!

Have you looked in the mirror today? Are all the hairs on your head turning gray? When you stand up are you stooping? Are many body parts now drooping? Do you wish that this greeting would go away? Do children try to help you cross the road? Can you remember what you've just been told? Is your favorite hobby sleeping? Can you feel your body creaking? Then you're very, very, very, very old. Are there too many candles on your cake? Are you afraid that if you fall, you will break? Are many tasks now just too tiring? Do your wrinkles need some ironing? Do you always have a pain or an ache? When you sleep are you scared that you'll be dead? Do your ears now have more hair than your head? Are your old clothes now back in fashion? Do you feed yourself small rations because you can't believe the price for a loaf of bread? Well, I guess I've said all that I want to say except, have yourself a Happy Birthday. If you think birthdays are a curse Well The Alternative Is Worse. So Have A Very, Very Happy Birthday!! - "I didn't write the above. I will delete it soon. I just wanted to share it with all of you. You may want to send it to a birthday acquaintance or two." Damn, I wish I wrote this. Sooooo Funny!

LOL -- this is very funny, Bill. My sister once said she'd like to take off her skin and iron it. I think you should leave it up and just credit the name of the author at the bottom. Lots of folks do that; they post for others. Enjoyed!! Love, Carolyn
