Thanks all, for your comments yesterday. This was supposed to have been posted back when Tarry Plaguer celebrated his birthday. Why it was not done I cannot say. Hope you do not mind its being posted now.His Birthday having now passed on byHe hangs his head and begins to cryWhat is the cause of this great downfall?Why, the postings on his facebook wallOur tarry little lad is another year olderI wonder if it has made him any less bolder?Does he lament for his wastrel youthNow that he grows, so long in the tooth?“Oh, to be a spry youngster, all of forty eight againWith a bleep-eating grin he said “Allow me to explain.”“That night in Bangkok, that week in the LevantThe weekend I spent with Eunice, your then maiden aunt.”“Bear hunting with a switch, sans any clothesAnd those tawny twins, with their magical toes.”“That trek across the Alps, rafting down the ZambeziRunning along the Great Wall (that left me wheezy).”“Pilfering Fort Knox with its bars so goldenHaving a good lawyer to which I’m beholden.”“Kissing the Queen and goosing her mumThe palace guard throwing me out on my bum.”“So many memories of which I cannot tell Most of which would land me in jail.”
