Happy Birthday To Me
Happy birthday to me
I don't live in a tree
But I look like a primate
Because I am one.
Happy birthday to me... and happy New Year to all y'all!

Happy birthday to you
I went to the zoo
I saw a fat monkey
but I didn't think it was you because I don't use creationist logic.
Keep up the blog!

Happy birthday to you
And to our Lord too
You don't look like a monkey
Because you're a created child of God
Posted by: Uriel | December 31, 2007 at 09:19 AM
Uriel! Shhh! We need to keep quite in order to infiltrate the ranks of these hell-bound heathens (who secretly beleive in Our Lord)...
Posted by: Valhar2000 | December 31, 2007 at 09:34 AM
Perverts and sodomites, the lot of them.

Greta ... happy birthday. I can't think of any witty birthday verses, but I can send you a dozen long-stem e-roses:

Happy birthday to Greta
Cake, balloons and confetta-
Best wishes for the new year
Because life is wonderful and worthwhile without having to believe that you were created by a magic man who watches you day and night to keep track of his personalized Plan for your life.
That really doesn't work, does it?

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Happy birthday to you,
And, uh ... ah, heck, the last line's not supposed to rhyme, anyway, right? :)
Posted by: J. J. Ramsey | December 31, 2007 at 12:57 PM
Happy Birthday to you,
And a good New Year's, too!
May you write more pages
Than Foley can do.
:D
Discovered your blog this year, and have greatly enjoyed all of your posts (including the cat pictures). Peace to you and Ingrid!

Happy Birthday to you!
To this blog I am new.
But you now have a friend,
In a Texas public school...
Dang! That kinda rhymed. Oh well. Keep up the nice work out there!
Posted by: RHawk68 | December 31, 2007 at 02:39 PM
Happy birthday to you,
All angry and witty and wise.
Here's for a New Year of joy,
And the best kind of pain besides.
;-)

Happy Birthday, Greta Christina!
And by a remarkable coincidence, my birthday is the day after yours. 57 years decrepit.
Posted by: Duncan | January 01, 2008 at 09:43 AM
wishing you a happy fun brilliant jumpy smooth slutty lolling sweet and tangy birthday!
Happy 2008 too. With Love from Jenine and Dan

happy belated birthday!
Happy birthday to you
amphixous(sp?) says so too
we all have a common ancestor
and the creationists are wrong!
Posted by: anti-nonsense | January 03, 2008 at 01:37 AM
Happy Belated Birthday to you
You don't live in a shoe
I can't prove a negative
And neither can anyone else
Posted by: hoverFrog | January 03, 2008 at 08:22 AM
In view of recent events:
Happy Birthday to you
You can't go to the zoo
Tigers instinctively chase prey
Because they evolved that way!
Posted by: Rebecca | January 03, 2008 at 11:52 AM
Happy Birthday. Again, thank you for your consoling words on death.
