'Tis your Birthday!



You're another year older,
another year wise.
Your butts getting bolder,
with pants a new size.
Your hair is getting grayer,
and stuff pointing to the ground.
Your waist...nowhere to be found.
Chunks of life,
layer by layer.
But, Oh, my pretty lass,
when all is said and done,
you're a ton of fun
and not really a big pain in the...
neck.
