Today is the last day of the best of your life.

You are almost ancient.

You are on the edge of old-age

You are so close to the crippled, wrinkled, gimpy life, you might as well start with the colostomy bag now.

This is a bad time to be you.

This is a bad time to be NEAR you

with your whining

and your crying

and� my god!

Is that your hair falling out?

Is what you've got catching?

Perhaps this is premature,

And perhaps you think that this combination of words is paradoxical

contradictory

irreconcilable

but maybe you'll see the hope inherent therein

and

though you may weep now

perhaps later

you'll have a

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
