Every morning I do it,
I shower and wash my hair,
Dry myself and comb my hair.
As I look in the mirror
To get my hair right
And get the parting straight
The thought comes to me,
I wonder how many times,
How many times I have done it
And got the same hairs
Each side of the parting
Over the twenty seven thousand,
Two hundred and six days
Since my birth.

Now, us two have lived hundreds of millions of DAYS then! You added in leap year days?
Yes we have Orchi but this fitted in quite well.

I calculate 6-10-48. Now if I add 6+10+48=64. You know what they say.
Very true 2781, 6-10-48 was a good year. Just add 10 to that 64 and that is my age now.

Seventy four is the new 64, apparently? I see the older fellow is still swift on the guitar. Music is a big part of the magic, may it keep blessing you x.
The poem's simplicity and accessibility make it relatable to a wide audience, while its underlying themes invite deeper contemplation and introspection.
Thank you for your thoughtful words Mottakeenur.

a slice of life, in a most eloquent
poetic voice
happy birthday my friend
if I be too early or late
know that I wish you, all the best!
Thank you Mek, my birthday is in October when I reach three quarters of a century.
