Birthday Wishes for mertuil

OK, Folks, you know the drill. Allright everyone, let’s gather in front of our large, 13″, Black and White TV set, and watch as a tall, lanky man in a khaki uniform strides out, introduces himself as Sheriff John, and says: OK, Lunch Brigaders, today we have a special song going out to Ms. mertuil in honor of her special day. He pulls out his guitar, slicks back his hair in the manner of They Might Be Giants, and starts singing:

You’re older than you’ve ever been
And now you’re even older
And now you’re even older
And now you’re even older
You’re older than you’ve ever been
And now you’re even older
And now you’re older still

Time is marching on
And time is still marching on

    This day will soon be at an end
And now it’s even sooner
And now it’s even sooner
And now it’s even sooner
This day will soon be at an end
And now it’s even sooner
And now it’s sooner still

You’re older than you’ve ever been
And now you’re even older
And now you’re even older
And now you’re even older
You’re older than you’ve ever been
And now you’re even older
And now you’re older still

I’ll close with my favorite song (Real Media), which given the year you’ve had, is always worth remembering:

Laugh and be happy
And the world will laugh with you
When people see you smiling,
They can’t help smiling too.
When you look out the window
To a dark and gloomy day
Bring out a smile, and in a while,
The gloom will go away
    So Laugh and be happy,
With a merry melody.
A song will make a hat rack
Look like a Christmas Tree.
Get rid of worry in a hurry, chase the blues away.
Just laugh and be happy all the live long day.

Happy Birthday, mertuil!
