I Milk My Birthday

Some people have a birthday day.
I have a birthday month.
Sometimes I extend it into the next month too.
I truly might enjoy my birthday a bit more than others.
It’s my birthday, I say, and quite often.
Not once or twice.
I have thirty-two birthday shirts.
Therein, I feel I have to milk it more than most.

Bill Baker June 4, 2022 at 2:56 PM Go for it! Like you say, it's your birthday. Reminds me of the golden oldie, "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to." It's your birthday and you can celebrate it as long as you want to. Sara and I celebrate our birthday week each year. :-) You rock, Caren!

L Milton Hankins June 3, 2022 at 9:56 AM I'm glad you enjoy your birthdays. Me, not so much. As I get older, I don't much like ticking off the years. To each his/her own, I say. Caren Krutsinger June 3, 2022 at 11:19 PM I love my birthday! Love it!
