Now its MY birthday!

[Sazerac]

Kiwidoc, if you think you got it bad, read THIS:

here is the SCA's "Barbarian Birthday Dirge" in its entirety. Hope this cheers you up!

The Barbarian Birthday Dirge

As sung to the tune of "The Volga Boatmen"

Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

Now you've aged another year
Now you know that Death is near
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

Doom, destruction and despair,
Grief and sorrow fill the air,
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

Birthdays come but once a year,
Marking time as Death draws near,
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

Now that you're the age you are
Your demise cannot be far
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

Black Death has just struck your town
You yourself feel quite run-down
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

May your deeds with sword and axe
Equal those with sheep and yaks,
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

You must marry very soon,
Baby's due the next full moon,
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

Your servants steal, your wife's untrue,
Your children plot to murder you,
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

They stole your sword, your gold, your house,
Took your sheep but not your spouse,
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

When you've reached this age you know
That the mind is first to go,
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

While you eat your birthday stew
We will loot the town for you,
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

Indigestion's what you get
From the enemies you 'et,
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

So far Death you have bypassed
Don't look back, She's gaining fast
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

We brought linen, white as cloud,
Now we'll sit and sew your shroud,
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

Just be glad the friends you've got
Haven't found out you-know-what!
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

This one lesson you must learn,
First you plunder, then you burn!
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [ARRrr!!]

Hear the Women Wail and Weep
Kill them all, But Spare the Sheep
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

May the children in the Street
Be your barbecueing Meat
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

So may the cities in your wake
Burn like candles on your cake!
Happy Birthday. [Hunh!] Happy Birthday. [Hunh!]

Good poem Saz - but we'll have to watch out that Kiwidoc doesn't get too excited about all the references to sheep. She comes from the land of the long white cloud, where men are men, and the sheep are nervous .

Psssstt - I mentioned it once before on my post on the other page...... but I think I got away with it.

Godsdammit! An unhappy birthday? That... that's so terrible as to be almost blasphemous! I am incensed, or possibly insenced, one of those! Why, I feel so strongly I might just do something completely out of character!

(gives Kiwi a HUUGE big sloppy kiss)

THERE! Happy birthday, my dear Kiwidoc, and don't you forget it!
