Look at me, I’m forty-three.
Lousy with obesity.
Won’t make the bed,
Cos’ I’m sewing instead,
I won’t; I’m forty-three.
Just here to say it’s my birthday
bloody hell hip hip hooray
I’m getting old
but it’s better than cold.
I sew another day.
As for you, you troll or two
I know what you wanna do…
hate me you must
I’m no object of lust.
I’m just plain forty-three.
Look at me , I’m forty-three
short and round and quite crafty
I sew up stuff
and I fill it with fluff
I do; I’m forty three.
Brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday man! Have a great day

xxxx happy birthday my lovely friend.
Great song, i'm still laughing. HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh happy birthday to you! As a 43 year old, I say- 43 is a great age...well, for this year. Then next tear 44 will be a great age.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is so funny! Love the little party picture at the end, too! :):):)
ReplyDeletep.s. You're still a youngster in my book.
I love it Jodie - Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteOh. And a very happy birthday to you! (oopsie!)
ReplyDeleteAhh, very funny. Those words have a certain resonance... Happy Birthday. I am still chuckling to myself making up a Sandra Dee rhyme for my own 44.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday lovely Jodie.
ReplyDeleteI love your new verses, I think my favourite is 'I sew up stuff and fill it with fluff'. Classic!
Hope you have a very happy day, and enjoy being a prime number!
ReplyDeleteOh my that was wonderful. Many happy returns!
ReplyDeleteYou make me happy. I just thought you should know. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I do hope you have the happiest ever of birthdays!
Happy 43rd Birthday! Hope you have a fabulous day and that you get very spoilt.
ReplyDeleteHappy HAPPY birthday, Jodie. Remember 43 is only 34 in dyslexic years!! Wishing you a year full of joy and happiness equal to that which you give all of us...your readers. :) mdmontalvo@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteBTW....whatever happened to the "cheeky sperm" you promised???
Very creative Jodie. Have a fantastic birthday.
ReplyDeleteFrom Priscilla(ish)
ReplyDeleteA birthday today
Let's pack the 42 away
You have lunch and tea
It'll be ecstasy
A birthday today
Hip, hip, hip, hip hooray
Had to modify it a bit. Hope you have a wonderful day (and that you have seen Priscilla).
Very Sandra Dee is right--great changed to the lyrics! 43 is a good number...I was there a few years ago. Those 40s sure passed in a blur. Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Birthday!
Have a great day Jodie - you make me laugh every time I read a post (well most of them - maybe not the sickness ones!).

One of my favourite poems for your birthday:
ReplyDeleteFour Friends
Ernest was an elephant, a great big fellow,
Leonard was a lion with a six foot tail,
George was a goat, and his beard was yellow,
And James was a very small snail.
Leonard had a stall, and a great big strong one,
Earnest had a manger, and its walls were thick,
George found a pen, but I think it was the wrong one,
And James sat down on a brick
Earnest started trumpeting, and cracked his manger,
Leonard started roaring, and shivered his stall,
James gave a huffle of a snail in danger
And nobody heard him at all.
Earnest started trumpeting and raised such a rumpus,
Leonard started roaring and trying to kick,
James went on a journey with the goats new compass
And he reached the end of his brick.
Ernest was an elephant and very well intentioned,
Leonard was a lion with a brave new tail,
George was a goat, as I think I have mentioned,
but James was only a snail.
A A Milne
Cheers ears!

Huge Happy Birthday Jod! Love the song :o) xxxx

ReplyDeleteHip hip hooray! Thanks for reminding me what I have to look forward to later in the year! But right now I say suck it up and IN and keep stuffing!
ReplyDeletePS I am at home with a sick 4 and 6 year old, but I hope you are out celebrating or at least at school demanding the kids bring you treats from the canteen...do the food police allow twistie rolls anymore?
I'll be keen to plagiarise that in 3 years...in the meantime, I will just keep humming it round in my head and have a giggle.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, you silly silly woman :)

A belated happy birthday from someone who was 12, and therefore in high school, when you were born!
