“Meet me in the middle,” says the unjust man.
You take a step forward,
He takes a step back.
“Meet me in the middle,” says the unjust man.

Today is my birthday! 🎂 🎁 🍰 and knowing how some might have forgotten the music for the Happy Birthday song I’ve done gone and notated how it was sung last year 🎶 😊

På skinnernes vej, den mægtige jernhest farer afsted,
Et væsen født af ildens kraft og hastighedens magi,
Med kæber af stål, den æder hø,
Ingen vrinsk eller hvin at høre,
Motorer brummer i stedet,
Maven nu fuld,
Den drager,
Hurtigt,
Væk.

A kitty named Gilbert, so sly,
Sniffed prawns, and he wouldn’t comply.
No outdoor quest,
For seafood was best,
Indoors, he’d contentedly lie.

I feel a surge, electric, pure,
Morning sun draws me near;
Childhood lost in shadows sure,
Yet hope outshines each fear.

Dreams have fled, their magic spent,
As time slips softly away;
Still, dawn’s promise brings content:
I rise to meet the day.

Hope shining within.

Barefoot on tarnished stage,
Recalling halls where hearts once soared,
When faith's gold lifted her grace.
Now shadows dim her silent steps,
No devotion lights watching eyes.
Yet each spin, kindles hope —
One believing gaze could restore
Her spirit to forgotten realms.

New rule: from now on, "antelope" rhymes with "Penelope".

A lady walked along with her bunny,
Its fur soft and snowy and sunny.
It hopped along with great cheer,
Making all the townsfolk peer,
And each, as one, said, 
“Now, isn’t that funny?”
