22 Today?

orchidee



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!

    And I recall William slipping in Fido's poo and the arrow that went into Harolds eye. HB Orchi.

        So it is your birthday again, I was there at your birth and tried to get the stegosaurus to take you away but you started singing and he ran away into oblivion!!!
