Birthday card for an ageing friend who's been putting it about a bit

Comments

The, ahem, poem reads: The goat that bleats on yonder hill/Has probably had more than his fill/of life's pleasures and delights/And once you give this further thought/you must conclude he really ought/to pack it in, by rights.

Like this a lot Robert, the poem will really add to the card.

I hope you're still friends after this!

Great idea Robert! Im sure it’ll make him laugh. Personal birthday cards are the thing at the moment. I have one to do for a 12 year old girl for next week, not easy!

Heather - I hope we will be friends when he receives it: he's my landlord..... Um .... anyone got a spare bedroom they're not using?
