Its your birthday? Really?

Well getting old (as you are) doesn't have to be a downer. Hellfire Aine, YOU'RE A TEXAN so look at it as a true Texan would:

You're just not getting OLDER, you're getting BIGGER !!!

But Happy Birthday anyway.

In honor of the occasion, I wish to resurrect the following ancient Druidic toast, for all to honor our Mistress of the Songbook:

Here's to the Gaelic Texan lass

 And here's to the men who love her!

 Who send in rhymes made late at night

 And wake up thinking of her!

 Who hang upon each merry post

 That falleth from her lips

 And wander 'round like mournful ghosts

 Obsessed with her cow chips

 Ten pints per man of Irn Bru

 To ease a tortured brain

 And here's to the lass for whom we bear

 Our grim creative pains

 So say farewell to British Nell

 Take leave of your Russian Tanya

 Lift a toast to the Muse who drives us mad,

 Our Gaelic goddess, Áine!

Do Mo Chairde (To My Friends)

I just had to, ya know, take a bit of my time,
To thank all of you 'Cats with a wee bit of rhyme,
For all of your greetings re the day of my birth,
Have me grinning and rolling on the floor with their mirth!

To think that lil ole me caused a synaps in your minds,
And best wishes and poems took up some of your time,
Made a day when I counted grey hairs in the mirror,
Turn a quick one-eight-oh and get better and better!

From the north to the south, the east to the west,
How can I say 'thank you' to the best of the best?
More comfort than candy, more welcome than flowers,
Are the kind thoughts and words from all you Mudcatters!

Very happy birthday, Aine.

Buncha HMTML showoffs around here remind me I haven't learned any new tricks (or weird rhymes) in a long time, but enough about me...this is about our preferred Gaelic Goddess...

So you would be twenty-what? this time?

Hope you're enjoying your favourite food and beverage about now.
