May 02 Fri “The Day of the Diary”
Opus magnum meum diem natalem celebrat. My large piece of work is celebrating its birthday. The first article I wrote was on 2007 May 02; it’s not an article I deem worth having online.
Happy first birthday Diary,
We’re celebrating too,
Happy first birthday Diary,
Happy birthday to you.
Happy first birthday Diary,
From magpie, robin, tern, hoopoe.
Let’s make the candles fiery,
To shed light and hope on you.
Happy first birthday Diary,
Overhead the skies are blue;
We’re all singing choirly,
Song thrush, chiffchaff, cuckoo.
Happy first birthday Diary,
You’ve seen your first year through.
So let your final expiry
Be when you’re a million and two.
Happy birthday Diary!
