A menagerie (with barbarian chorus) for goddessgoddess, etc.

[damont]

Birthdays, we gots birthdays... A week-plus ago were natal anniversaries for glynisgwynedd and luscious_purple, a couple of days apart; I didn't note them here yet, though I did send greetings via LJ comments. Right now I'm in the middle of another cluster of friends' birthdays going on; so in date order, Happy Birthday to cellio, goddessgoddess (today), stanharding, and jaine_parr!

Hippo birdie two ewes (ya sure I shouldn't spell that "youse"?)
Hippo birdie two ewes
Hippo birdie deer ewes
Hippo birdie two ewes!

And for my first encore, here's a short excerpt of a song you probably know all too well... (cues barbarian chorus)

Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)

Doom and gloom and dark despair
People dying ev'rywhere

On your Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)

Cities burning in your wake
Like the candles on your cake

Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)

This one lesson you must learn:
FIRST you pillage, THEN you burn!

Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)

Mortal vermin cringe in fear
Thank God it's only once a year

Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)

When you've reached this age, you know
That the mind is... (er, I forget how this verse ends... gimme a minute, it'll come to me, I'm sure...)
