The Monster Of March
And My Favorite Partner In Crime
Birthdays -
yeeeaah, birthdays!!
Another year closer to your own demise.
Birthdays -
frickin' birthdays.
I've kept count of the years, by the wrinkles, forming gracefully, around my eyes.
Birthdays
Many - happy birthdays.
If it weren't for the cake and the ice cream, I'd say, " go take a hike!"
Blasted birthdays
I'll spank myself, thanks -
Unless the cast arrives to celebrate, from the movie, Magic Mike!
Sure, I know I should be thankful,
Every day is a new gift.
But there is something ~ not so funny,
when your face becomes "the gif."
*
So, here's to birthdays!
guess I'll give in,
They are much easier for me to go through -
because, I have a twin.
And he's older, (a whole 5 minutes!)
So, yeah, there's that,
so, as the numbers begin to add up, he'll be there, catching the crap.

So, here's to birthdays.
I hope you agree.
That getting older is much better,
than the view from 6 foot deep.
So, light the candles,
eat all the cake.
And don't let anybody blow you crap,
cause it's your special day!
