It's Pootie's 50th Birthday

[bansaisequoia]

Here's one from my childhood

The world is a carousel of color,
Wonderful, wonderful color.
The world is a carousel of color,
History, comedy, fantasy,
There’s drama and mirth,
There’s old mother earth
With all of her secrets to see.

The world is a treasure-trove of faces,
Fabulous, faraway places.
The hopes and the fears,
The joys and the tears
Of people like you and like me.
The kingdoms of magic science,
The glorious story of art,
The world of romance,
Of music and dance,
This world where we each play a part.

The miracle of imagination,
The marvels of earth, sea and sky,
These wonders untold
Are ours to behold
In the funny world,
The sunny world,
The wonderful world of color.


(my bartenders tell me I look too
young to remember television without colour)
(of course they grew up with Nintendo)

Well bansai,... you have to watch out for those bartenders... not that I would know.

I hope your birthday was as special as it ought to be Pootie. And if I can be 29 for 9 plus years then you can be whatever age you want. After all, age is just a number. And being a beautiful person makes you ageless!
