Happy B-day Lostsoul7

Back in the days of your wine and roses
You were always in control of the dice
Now that your age has climbed ever higher
You get to eat gumbo made out of rice

The aches and pains the wrinkles and flaps
Only add grace to your once so young skin
Ageing with honor is quite a large task
Keeping just one single chin

Two hundred candles atop your cake
Well.. Maybe that number is wrong
But it’ll be just as hard, to blow them all out
After they sing you your song

Hood-Wink!
This is absolutely fabulous, I bet Lostsoul was over the moon with it...Birthdays are so personal and none of us like to get older, but time waits for no man and you have calmed the waters with this humerous piece, it has made me chuckle, especially the line about wrinkles and flaps...ummmmmmm how old are you when the flaps come?

Thanks for making this such a fun read

You have been hood-winked by a member of The Poetic bandits

Much Love to you

Andy you're just getting better with age.
Just like the grapes you grow
Sweeter, plumper and juicier...
