Happy Birthday!

When my human birthed me there was a loud **THUD**, clocks around the World stopped, and time stood still! Everyone was running around for about 30 seconds screaming "What should we do???...What should we do???".

The nurses all gathered 'round
And stared in wide wonder
At the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up
Said "Leave this one alone"
She knew right away
That I was bad to the bone!

(j/k on that last part...I stole it from George Thorogood)

Then everyone shrugged and pretty much went back to what they were doing before.

The End.

Anyway, Happy Birthday!

I tell my family that sleeping keeps the wrinkles at bay. The more the better…….

a reply to: Onlyyouknow

Yeah, saw her at Red Rocks many years ago. She was pretty good. I like a lot of her stuff.

Her warm-up band was Big Head Todd & The Monsters. Big mistake! They blew her up! Probably one of the most underrated bands on the planet, especially live! Seen them a number of times since way back when they were still just a bar band.
