Never Ask a Lady

A wise old lady said to me when birthdays came around "Lament thee not, a year gone by" I did not make a sound "They dare not ask me my birth date" she raised her hands, two fisted! Said, “Age is but a number”, kid and honey, mine’s unlisted! Happy Birthday to all the March babies like me!

Most ladies don't like revealing their age, but not all are that way. (I don't mind sharing). This is so cute. I can see her shakin' her fists in the air while saying.."and honey, mine’s unlisted!" Happy birthday, Mike. My best to you. :) Brandy
