So I am the first to say
"Happy Birthday Fallen!"
For you, this...
Like the word mega, you are ancient
outdated as sea scrolls and flares
old as time, stuck in traffic 8 hours.
Unstable as the stack of comics
in your dusty loft, smelling of pee.
Lifted in spirits by coffee dipped pizza
and in body by motorized chair
top of the stairs
I'll meet you there
to lay together in your orthopedic bed
spectacles on your head
teeth in the glass
of bubbly water.
Walk in shower with sit down stool
aided lover always, all ways,
wonky frame to hobble to the shops
to buy a folded paper
angrily chase away pigeons
dirty vermin
Mr Grumpy.
But like your bunions and gout
I am here to stay
old age does not scare me
neither does your dodgy hip or hairy mole
and ears and nose all sprouting merrily
you are my little garden of grey fur
area rugs with follicle tufts
and pockets of fluff coated candy,
foreign coins,
and trinkets from the war.
First and second
and Boar too.
I am your trophy, a gap of twenty
or more in dog years
bridged by your expansive legendary wang
and three oil fields and 64ft yacht
and promises of blue pilled lovin'
pension paid for and worth every dime.
So Hurray! to you this special day
enjoy your wheeled meal with extra cabbage
blended for easy chewing
milkshake style with bendy straw
everyone at the home in paper hats
a gummy kiss from Dorothy down the hall
the fat whore.
Congratulations you are stale and wrinkled
like the prunes you consume to keep you regular.
Today drink sherry and green tea
salutations! Cheers! Bottoms up me ol' mucker!
But know this, my geratric wooer
and if you can't remember,
you know how you always forget
I am constantly reminding you,
write it on a piece of paper so it never slips your addled mind
on your list of moth balls and vitamin tablets,
that,
I love you
you silly old fart.
And in you honour I drink a cup of cod liver oil
and wish you live another zillion years
only this side of the Atlantic please if you are so kind and willing
and don't forget your man diapers this time
because that stuff stains.
Happy 40th Birthday Fallen.
