Tavie
The Jennifer formerly known as Rantsa, now known as Ariafifty1 said I
could only post about her birthday if I did in the form of a sonnet, so I
wrote a sonnet. Therefore, we all have a treefort birthday for this lovely
if someone sadistic gal, yes?
"You Didn't Say It Had To Be Good: Jen's Birthday Sonnet"
by Tavie
You thought I wouldn't tell, but you were wrong--
A birthday is important, this you know,
And isn't something passed without a song,
Or opportunity for me to crow,
"Oh, Jen, oh darling Jen, oh silly thing!
Let not the bushel this day hide your light!
I know you won't leave me alone to sing--
My harmony alone would not sound right."
And up the stairs of treefort, squawking proud,
And tunelessly as eaglets in their nest,
I'd be so helpless 'fore the cringing crowd,
You'd give their aching ears a needed rest
By drowning out my sorry birthday tune
With voice so fair, 'twould make Le Poupee swoon.
Happy birthday, duckie. Stop making that face and get into the treefort.
Tavie (rhymes with GRAVY) has the pear dream every night.

That is so CUTE, Tavie! Happy Birthday Jen! I'm IN the treefort, and it's
currently EMPTY. Where ARE you people? All that's here is a big old mess
from the previous treefort gatherings! Did we ever declare an official
treefort janitor? Cause this NEEDS to be straightened up before October:)

OH no! I was counting on a volunteer here! Besides.....I'mmm... allergic
to dust! (yeah, that's it) Oh, and brooms too. And.....to any cleaning
agent that doesn't go directly onto to my body logically.
There. So see, it can't be me. :)

What, having Scott talk in your face and sing to you on your birthday
isn't feeling de looooooooove? A Scott hug isn't feeling de loooove? I
think our standards are a tad high. <g>
Or, in iambic pentameter (my new best friend):
We love you Caroline, you know we do--
So shut up or your teeth will turn to glue!

Awwww! I'm so touched!
Wait! I'm *more* than touched. I'm....I'm...I'm fondled! Yeah! Okay, I
get extremely embarassed at attention. But, hell! You can't see me
blushing, right? So why should I be afraid?
Oh, and Tavie, you're a friggin' genius. Ol' Bill Shakespeare is green
with envy, he is. 'Cause I *know* how short a time it took you to write
that! I was gonna respond with a terza rima, but I'm not at your fabulous
level. Do it again! Petrarchan this time! <eg> It's so beautiful, that
I'm quoting it in whole.
