As some of you (or perhaps none) may know, my birthday is coming up on Saturday. Of course, you are probably asking yourself: what, what can I get Christine that is of sufficient magnitude to please her? The answer is simple: I'd like the first few words, or the first line to a poem, please. Drop it right there in the comments section, and I'll see what I can do with it. Nice wrapping paper is appreciated, as are neat, taped corners.

Oh yea? My birthday is a week from Friday. 29 are you?

Christine E. Hamm, Poet Professor Painter said...

Um... Try 49.

Jim Murdoch said...

Since birthdays are times for reflection try this as an opening line:

Old men talk of things that never were

Talia Reed said...

My mom's birthday is one week from today. She will be 48. And you are way hipper than she.

Honestly, I would have realistically guessed 39.

Valerie Loveland said...

Whoa, Christine, my birthday is Saturday too!

Alright, now I have to make something to celebrate Valerie's and my simultaneous birthday. All the salad dressings expire on December 15th, Valerie! Have you figured that out yet? It's a fact.

Talia -- I'm sorry for kidding you so much. I'm going to be 43. But I only look 39 -- waah.

Thank you Jim, thank you for the gift.

All the salad dressings expire on December 15th would be a pretty fun first line.

So does that mean I've just "regifted"? :)

Happy B-Day!
