“I just laugh. Have I got them fooled.” Betty White
Happy 99th Birthday Betty White or Betty White in 99 words (or more)
Humour without too much censure Work without any kind of complaint Always feeling happy and having a smile Lover or nature and all them animals wild Maybe even a few of us human kind Bringing laughter and joy for us all Never the one to take a down fall Pretty and witty, now even more so Having learnt lessons during a life long Many made shows, taking them bows Leaving us fans in awe and loudly cheering And always with a sense of a good feeling What ever the role, our hearts she stole Therefore written is this small type of an ode Within some ninety-nine plus rhyme of words As there is always room for years more!
“It is that time again, to turn a new leaf in life” Gun Roswell
Happy New Year!
Colourful burst of noise filled blinding light Filling the darkened day, soon turning into a night The clocks, on the walls, and everywhere, are quickly churning As the long awaited coming of a new year starts slowly turning Time itself stopping, for a blink one an eye As all the wishes and hopes, for a better life Fill the airways, from every which possible way Letting go of the passing year and all its fear Because now looking forward, is a reward Of this special midnight, which will make everything alright
I tried to learn the Finnish language, which is really, really, really hard, and I realized that if I want to really learn it, I just need to figure out the swear words first, because those, are totally effective” Gun Roswell

“It’s great to be independent, either for just my own sake or then, living in a country which is, just that” Gun Roswell
Independence
A good feeling, in the back of your very pocket to have Making your own decisions, thinking for yourself, alas That kind of position, does not really, come so easily For yourself, you had to prove your parents most likely That you could do it without much fighting, or then again You may have had to push your way through ignorance Pettiness and all that kind of jazz, to be at the very point And that was smart, as for the country, which you live in On this very fine day, those before you, had to prove their Very worth, while dredging in the dirt, in arms and poor Conditions no less, most of them refusing to ever confess To those who would take away their freedom and even lives Some of them dying in the process, without ever seeing What they managed to achieve, but on this day we can leave All doubts outside and when we step into the unknown wide The in person thing we can never, be taken for granted Is that one so simple sounding word, of independence
“Guess there is a lot, to give thanks for, when you really think about it” Gun Roswell
Giving Thanks, I guess of sorts
I am thankful, for at least, my very own kind of life The living quarters, those too, are, well, quite nice And then there is, the family, they’re, kinda alright Minor aches and pains, can be mostly, ignored Then there is other stuff too, like eating them s’mores And guess the work, even if it makes me so bored My all time favourite series, yes, those are back Oh, toilet paper too, yeah well, we have them stacked Brain cells small and grey, even if some of them I lack Otherwise, none too many complaints, or as I just said Can’t remember much more, but hey, doing chores Then giving thanks, for anything and everything and all So, a very happy day and I guess this thanksgiving thing too And hey, try not to feel too sad and blue, in case you Have none too many things, to be really grateful for
“A couple of years ago, I was asked, ‘How would you like to be remembered?’ And my answer was ‘That I was very funny.’” Sir Patrick Stewart

“Today, is just like any other day, except, I am one more year older. They say, it’s just a number, but for me, it feels like today, it’s carried to the umpteenth, so yeah, I am feeling, so old!” Gun Roswell
Note to self
When I woke up this morning, and could not stop yawning I knew it must have been, a psychological scheme Because today, wasn’t like any other day Because today, I woke up with another digit added to my age
I know some say, that age, is just a number anyway But for me, on this day, it feels, like something of the be afraid Like a heave stone on my chest, not letting me rest Rather a suffocating force, leaving nothing behind but torture
Alright, to this much I admit, that i might have been feeling sick And not the measurable coughing, snot running kind of glitch But, the more I started to run back in time I could clearly feel the very hit of my last chime
So, I am not really, that old, but to be perfectly bold I feel the life flashing before my very eyes and I am not sold To be honest, I thought I would have put so many things to rest And by now, I would at least, own that perfect crown
And then, after pouring all them things on to paper I realize, that even if i might be a self proclaimed hater I am feeling kind of fine in the very same skin i occupy Even if I am not the perfect person, which I never deny
So what if all the achievements pegged for myself Would be only realised at some other or later date So what if I wasn’t the person I thought I ought to be On this very day I turned a specific number for everyone to see
I may have spent so many years planning and waiting The time gone by, some of it totally wasted But I know there are plenty more ahead of me, waiting to see What great things, I am able to finally achieve
Consider this little ditty A note to self, even if shitty No one is ever too old or ever to late To do what ever things they put on their plate!
So, in the words of another mortal beauty: Good god, girl, get a grip Get your head out of that space of shit And by the way, happy birthday!
“All kinds of witches are about, usually all year long, but especially on Easter!” Gun Roswell

But ugly can be an asset Especially for the wickedness Scaring folks and cattle Just by showing up tattle
