birthdays are special

because you get older all of a sudden
like from a bad accident or disease

but you don't suddenly get smarter, and usually you don't suddenly die! on your birthday

maybe a comet will buzz by in the night sky

I'm so old now, I won't even look for it

I agree -- birthdays used to be something to celebrate, once upon a time . . . any more, my birthday is something I try to avoid tripping over, like so many forgotten New Year's Resolutions.

. . . perhaps, if I stopped giving up my New Year's Resolutions for Lent. Hmmm, can one give up birthdays for Lent? ;-)
