Happy Birthday, You Old Jersey Devil!

Yesterday, was DOGust the First,

The birthday of our rescued canines;

Tomorrow, we have another birthday,

And this one is in The Ancient Ed Line.

 

In Dog Years,

Old Jersey Devil Ed Matlack,

Will Be 378 Years Old Tomorrow!

 

I

 

There is this really old fart named Ed,

He’s a Deadhead for The Grateful Dead,

He really loves to puff on his pot,

And I really, really, love him a lot,

So, for his birthday, I pooped on his bed!

 

“Happy Birthday, From Your Best Pal, Rufuz!”

 

II

I have this wacky brother I call Jersey Ed,

Who as a kid, just would not get out of bed,

For years, he always slept until way past Noon,

Then, he had to watch all those wacky Looney Tunes,

And man, he balled like a little baby, until he was fed!

 

“Happy Birthday, Bro, From Your Brother Pee Wee!”

 

III

I, too, have a brother, I call Jersey Ed Matlack,

I really loved stuffing him in Ma’s old potato sack,

Then I liked dragging him all around, upside down,

And sometimes, I even banged his head on the ground,

But Jersey Ed knows, for him, I’ll always have his back!

 

“Happy Birthday, From Brother Edvard, Your Elder!”

 

IV

So For The Jersey Devil’s Big 378th Birthday,

Please send him a Birthday Greeting, right away.

But he also likes money orders, checks, and cash;

And if you can, please help him replenish his stash,

This, he could really use, without any further delay.

 

Thank You All on A.D. So Very, Very Much,

From His Loving Brothers Pee Wee and Edvard,

And, Of Course, From Rufuz, His Very Best Pal

PS:

The Above Photo

Is a New Promo

For Rufuz’s New ‘Tell All’ Book:

“My Life With A Deadhead,”

Available Soon.

 

 

Happy, Happy 378th Birthday,

You Old Jersey Devil, You!

Awww, ya shouldn't have,
In tears I am right now,
Though my head is as big as a cows,
I didn't know ya loved me all this much,
As the last time ya saw me,
Ya knocked me off my crutch...

But what are brudders for,
Even though financially I am quite poor,
I still have you two ELDER Ed's who know the score,
And a hairy beast of a canine,
That litters with hair my floor...

Thank you all on my 378th birthday even though I thought I was only 54... ya got me right here, ya know that...Ed

Ed,

Ed will love this. :) Let me add my best wishes: I'll spare him by not singing happy birthday. :) That's my gift to him. I'd hurt poor Rufuz's ears, and we aren't cruel to animals. :) Well done.

Happy Birthday, Ed Matlack! Love ya!!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

It's your day to celelbrate so it's okay,
Your time to have your rightful say,
To all your Bros and Rufuz too.

PS. I wanted to send a check but you forgot to give an address so it will have to wait for next year, lol.
Thanks for sharing Ed.
