21 again?!

Now come on, Orchi!

You can\'t be 21 again today.

You must be 22 by now

Or at least 23

Wow - that\'s very old!

 

Yep, I\'m 21 again

21 million years old, that is

But - agghhh - another birthday?

One with a \'zero\' at the end

Ahh - so you\'re 30 then, Orchi?!

 

Ohh I seen some times

Such as in 1066, I met Will

William The Conqueror at Hastings

I made a terrible blunder there when I said

To Harold \'Look up, Sir\'

At a fateful moment

It was one in the eye for him

It was all my fault, you know!

 

I\'ll tell ya things about dinosaurs too

I met them in person

What\'s that you say - 

\'You still are a dinosaur?\'

 

Well, it\'s me hymn-poems

I met those hymn-writers too

Including \'Joseph The Hymnograper\'

From centuries ago (he died in 886 AD)

He gave me hymn-writing tips when I met him

I\'ve written them ever since!

Hymnographying, that is.

 

Oh, but still can\'t say these long words

Anything over 3 syllables and I\'m stumped

 

Well, I can\'t tell ya everything of my life

I would be here for ever

Just call me \'Fossil\' as me nickname

But here\'s to sherry-fuelled and pork-pie filled days

Raise a glass with me

But not before I\'ve added water to it!

Hee hee hee!
