Mrs. Linklater doesn't usually write stuff people call poetry. You'll soon know why. But this was one way to list all the strange, yet wonderful birthday gifts that were left in her comments.
Your generosity made her 62nd birthday feel like 59.
Thank you for. . .
Flowers, tickets, a pepperoni stick
John Lennon CDs, oysters, trips
Todd the Pool Boy,
Sven, the Masseuse,
Ray, Yak's husband [I want pics]
Cukes and bananas made the list
A box of Depends [the perfect gift]
A White Sox repeat
A Huge dragon kite
A little red convertible -- and a date with KISS?
Champagne and a cannon [wanna light my fuse?]
Orthopedic underwear -- do they come in twos?
Spa day, cheesy play,
Tootsie rolls, 45-year olds
Plastic surgery and a howitzer -- to chase the blues?
Opera boys singing The Pearlfisher duet
Nobel Prize winners I've never met
Homecooked meal
Prepared for me
It's starting to sound like the best is yet
To come.
Yeah, it's lame, but my heart's in the right place.

Very clever entry! Hope your b-day was a happy one. Happy Halloween. I gave a shoutout to you in an entry Saturday night. Come by anytime!

Such decadence is hardly decent. You must be bloated with the pleasure of it all!!!

Whooo-boy! You older folks are a real hoot.
Don't take any wooden nickels.
Happy Birthday, Mrs L! Sorry I am way too late. I like the poem though it felt like you are chanelling Dr. Seuss. LOL.
Uh oh.. she's starting to rhyme. Skirting the edges of senility? Naaa... just the champagne I think. Bravo, A Toast! Well done. ~Sie

Glad you enjoyed your gift. And speaking of Todd, he hasn't wiped the grin off his face since he got back here. What did you do to him ?? Tina http://journals.aol.com/onemoretina/Ridealongwithme
standing ovation Mrs. L!!!!!!! judi
It was a good poem. It has rhythm & rhyme...it sounds excellent when you say it out loud...you had me laughing....Sandi
happy birthday Mrs. L -
don't you think it's peculiar that you and my son share the same birthday - 41 years apart?
ps. i left your presents at the last entry. (they were too big to lug over here)
If you say your poem really fast, it almost sounds like a Billy Joel song. Or maybe the NyQuil kicked in over at this end. Either way, I liked it.

If 62 feels like 59, then can I take her for a spin? Not you, the car, silly.
if I remember correctly
you don't care for poetry
but you do like song lyrics
this could be a top 10 single :)
Stupid computer blips meant i missed your birthday ....looks like you got tonnes of great presents which makes it even harder now to think what to give you for your 62nd year on the planet !
Hmmmmm ....(thinks whilst ruffling through gift catalouge ) ahhhhaaa shaz thinks she may have come across a way of sending you the gift of eternal youth !
Look out in your inbox ! x
