humorous old age
When you have so many candles upon your birthday cake Does the act of blowing all of them out Make you gasp for air and shake? When you cannot even count that high cuz your brain is getting dim Come on, now don't be silly Is that frosting on your chin? Don't worry; we won't notice How messy you've become We'd lak toove died how funny You look at a hundred and one

Be careful or you'll singe your bushy eyebrows if you don't get those all out in one blow!

I especially like the second to last line. Like the line my uncle used when he was 101, "Nurse, get me a bucket! I want to kick it!"

A lighthearted look at the age old problem....
Aging...
and we are all getting there...!
Healthy older age is the goal...

K9 Mine by Shannon MacLeod

Corporal Travis dreamed of partnering with a police dog, but Fate handed him a faery and something unexpected instead.. As his normal world spirals into chaos, he is thrust into a centuries-old conflict with stakes higher than he ever imagined.
