22 Today!

orchidee



Argh!! I must be 22 today

I surely can't be 21 - again!!

I been 21 for about 5 million years

I might even be 23 - that's very old!

Yes, some young people worry

About reaching age 30 even!

 

But you know Goldfinch and me

We're both about 10 million years old, so we say

We've lost count of our birthdays

We met dinosaurs in person

Lived through the Ice Age, Stone Age, etc

And were at Hastings in 1066 in person

We were the first ones on the Moon

Not those in 1969

Cos we had already been there for ages

 

Now - 21 again - how many times over?!

There's a 'zettabyte' - 10 to the power of 21.

10 followed by 21 zeros (in the UK anyway)

That's probably how old us two are

LOL.

 

I gotta sing the video to myself

Don't listen to me screeching

Put those earplugs in!
