Woof! Says Fido to me
You're surely not 21 again
You must be 22 by now!
C'mon now, tell us your age
But no-one knows, not even me
Same as for Goldfinch
Not to take his name in vain - but he knows!
We're both millions of years old
We survived the dinosaurs
Our middle name is 'Fossil'
Yes, we attend Museum and Antiques Shows
We're part of the exhibits!
And were there at 1066 at Battle of Hastings (in the UK)
We were in fact the first men on the moon
We stepped out from beyond the dark side of it
To greet the earthly astronauts in 1969
Or are we both human?
We might be half-human, half something-else
Half-human, half-guinea pig (as in my pic)
Though I've spent about 5 million years
Telling ya they are piggies
Not rats, mice, gerbils - nor elephants
(Randomly adding elephants in there)
So - Carpe Diem to ya
But don't spend too long finding out what it means
Or else it'll be night
And you'll have no day left to seize! Doh!
Aww- why they say - whoever 'they' are:
Your birthday again? It's bad enough that it happened!
Why did ya have to turn up and sing?
Or so-called sing?!
Heehee
Woof! this must stop, says Fido
This self-denigrating
This kicking yourself around the room
Like some old football
This rubbishing of yourself
This counting yourself as nothing
OK, I will stop!
I will apply it all to KP
As I been doing for countless years already!
Ya can wish me many more years
Of nuttiness and eccentricity
In me dafter moments!
LOL.

My congratulations Orchi I've taken to subtracting a year each year as for those Guineapigs I always thought they were bed slippers
Thank you SB. lol.
You are always most welcome Orchi
a fun write, made me giggle
Thank you N. lol.
welcome
Among all the codswallop there's one gem, almost obscured by a pile of tripe, now where was it?.... Ah - there you are.... the Carpe Diem four lines do it for me; just a gentle prod in the right direction...
Thank you D. All this poem is true, ya know, including that Carpe Diem bit of French! lol.
Rock on Orchi! Fossils at Hastings, moon landings, half-human guinea pigs (not hamsters, right?)…meanwhile Tom is knitting endless tubes with a thousand yard stare. For what? Don't answer that! And, oi be, Wan Kenobie is mid mind trick convincing the dinosaurs they've never existed untill they've seen all billion episodes of the Baters. Scooby and SpongeBob are conducting glug inventory control and failing miserably. And through it all, you pivot from self-kicking to self-blessing. That is classic Orchi madness with heart. Many more years of nuttiness and glugs, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Woof!
A glugging thank you T, even amidst all that's going on there, as you've noted it! lol.
Many congratulations on whatever it is you are vaguely referring to .. Neville 😎👍
Thank you N.
So that day has come for that day, that day forty seven million six thousand nine hundred and twenty six years five months three weeks and two days ago. May there be many millions more Orchi.
Andy
