Our Fiftieth Is In Two Weeks

Our three children have decided to surprise us. Two could. The third probably shouldn’t. Two do not mind mess. One is persnickety. I have not cleaned a room in over two years. I went on strike two March’s past When my husband brought home nine drum sets There was no floor space before. You can barely imagine it now. And a Marmaduke of a dog has moved in. He is chewing things up so fast By the time they arrive two weeks from now Maybe I won’t have to clean anything. Come on down! I say. Glad for company.

Marvelous! Splendid! Did you say "nine drum sets?" I mean, really..."NINE DRUM SETS?"

It is a slight exaggeration but I know we have at least two and a half that Buddy has not yet eaten.
