Happy Birthday To Me
Friday, September 11th was my birthday — one of those traumatizing, ends-with-zero birthdays. So I told my husband Mark that, unless he wanted me to be a basket case on nine-eleven, he’d better plan something good.
So, did Mark rise to the occasion? He sure did, as I describe in this three-verse limerick:
Happy Birthday To Me
By Madeleine Begun Kane
My nine-one-one birthday was great!
Hubby Mark planned a fabulous date:
God of Carnage — fine play —
Four fab stars on Broadway.
Yes, I married a wonderful mate.
The play featured James Gandolfini,
Who did not play a mafia meanie.
Hope Davis starred too
And Jeff Daniels. Woo Hoo!
Marcia Harden’s the fourth. Creds ain’t teeny.
We dined on gourmet Mex cuisine:
Toloache’s the best I have seen.
And we drank and we danced
At two bars. Age advanced?
Well, perhaps … but I felt sweet sixteen.

What a wonderful time it sounds to have been, Mad! The Happy Birthday to You limericks were fun. :)
Sounds like you had a fun birthday. You have a lovely husband who was really thoughtful to find something nice to do to celebrate your 16th plus some months birthday.
A birthday on the heel of summer
Portends well for extra slumber
But I won’t tease ya
’bout eating tortilla
I’d rather have a bagel.
LOL! Thanks, everyone! And thanks for the verse Rob and Denise!
I know that I’m very new here
But I’d like to make something real clear
Nine-fifteen is the date
No, I’m not four days late
I am getting a jump on next year
Happy Birthday Madeleine!
LOL! Marduk, you’re the definitely the first. :) Thanks!
