Now c\'mon Orchi
You must be 22 today
You can\'t be 21 for ever!
But in fact, I\'m about 5 million and 1 years old today
Or may a year or two more
I\'m so old, ya know
Maybe you are too?
You remember seeing the dinosaurs in person?
And the battles we saw?
Hastings in 1066
Bannockburn in 1314
Thermopylae in Greece in 480AD
And so on
And the people we\'ve met?
Aristotle around 350BC
King Harold at Hastings in 1066
(When I mucked it all up
It\'s retold in legendary stories)
Napoleon around 1800
And so on
Were you there?!
Fido is very old too
He was there, of course
Not letting me have any \'hotness\' or \'excitement\'
All my life I feel I been living in Greenland
Or Siberia, or somewhere
Cos of him!
I know ya won\'t wish me Happy Birthday
Cos I keep tormenting ya
With me singing
Adding water to your whisky, wine, etc
Setting Fido on ya
But that\'s your own fault
I told ya to mark poems 18+ when needed
But ya didn\'t!
I\'ll have a drink or two with ya - Cheers!
With water added of course
Go have a pancake or three, Orchi and Fido
I was born on a Pancake Day
(Work out a year from calendars. heehee)
Meanwhile I\'m 22 today!
