Happy 77th birthday to Sir Ian McKellen

“I’m not quite as cool as I would like to be, really” Ian McKellen

Happy Birthday to Sir Ian McKellen

Listen what I’m tellin’
There’s a dude worth the yellin’
His name is McKellen
And he’s quite the fellow
Absolutely helluv’
An actor too!

Shakespeare, science fiction, fantasy
Add to that a good doze of reality
Each part done quite talently

So listen to me carefully
And sing along this melody
Let’s do this part formally
Join me loudly yellin’
Wishing Sir Ian McKellen
A very happy birthday!

May the 4th be with you!

“When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good you will not.” Yoda

May the 4th be with you!

In a galaxy far far away
To the dark side you may stray
Because you just wanted a holiday
A little weekend escape
With the stormtroopers parade
Just stay in the shade

But after hanging out with Vader
He would surely be the traitor
Hogging all the toilet paper
And sending you to meet your maker
You realized sooner or later
…It was time to flee this theatre

Back on track with team Yoda
I may be missing the scotch and soda
Laying lazily on a soft sofa
But soon it will be time for yoga
And later on TV some Oprah
Who said I could not fill my quota!

Happy Star Wars day to one and all!

“I’m never bored, never ever bored. If I’ve got a day off I’ll sit in a cafe and watch and observe. I’m a great observer” David Suchet

Happy Birthday to David Suchet aka Hercule Poirot

Whether Hercule Poirot
Or a damsel in a dress
I must confess
I am partial to either or

On television, film or stage
Many a different faces
This multitalent embraces
Travelling without much stress
Accompanied by his charm no less
Even on the Orient Express

Looking forward to many more plays
And wishing the happiest of Birthdays

An homage to the absolutely hilarious TV comedy; Absolutely Fabulous,
starring Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley

 ”Darling, if you want to talk bollocks and discover the meaning of life, you’re better off downing a bottle of whiskey. At least that way, you’re unconscious by the time you start to take yourself seriously.” Patsy

Absolutely Fabulous

Absolutely fabulous laughs
Absolutely fabulous cast
Absolutely fabulous show
I watched it several times or more
So, I really should know!

From a fan’s point of view
Of us, there are quite a few!
And we all are
Utterly sensational
Positively radiant
Happily glorious
And Abso-freaking-lutely
Fabulous too

An Absolutely Fabulous Birthday, Ms Joanna Lumley!

“Ma’am is acceptable in a crunch, but I prefer Captain” Captain Janeway, Star Trek Voyager

Captain, My Captain

Hair in a bun
Phaser on stun
Cool on the outside
Passionate on the inside
Charging off to battle
Borg, Hirogen, Kazon no matter
The enemy
She can be a frenemy
To get the job done
So pick up your gun
And follow her to hell and back
Pick up the slack
In your action be fair and square
And avoid the death glare
Both fierce and delightful
Quite a handfull
Full of action
She is our Captain

Captain, My Captain; A Very Happy Birthday, Kate Mulgrew!

“I think people think I’m accessible. I’m never treated as a star, either by fans or other actors, and I like it like that. I don’t get the star treatment. I think that means I’m a good actor. They acknowledge me as a human being, and to me, that’s invaluable, because that’s exactly what I am!” Kate Mulgrew

Captain, My Captain; A Very Happy Birthday, Kate Mulgrew!

Legendary
Iconic
Beloved
Ageless

Extraordinary
Special
Remarkable
Fantastic

Captivating
Enchanting
Fascinating
Unforgettable

Many happy returns; Our Captain, Kate Mulgrew!

“Let us not take ourselves too seriously. None of us has a monopoly on wisdom” Queen Elizabeth II

Live Long and Prosper Queen Elizabeth II

Who would have thought
Of being in the same job
For some sixty three years
– Surely worth some cheers

You’re part of the folk
Even cracked a few jokes
You got street smarts
And certainly won our hearts

Pink, purple or blue
To name but a few
The colours like your spirit
Would inspire many lyrics

Wishes for
Many more
Years of reign
Hear our hail:

Long Live the Queen,
And surely and sincerely
A very happy 90th birthday!

Live Long and Prosper George Takei!

― George Takei

Live Long and Prosper George Takei!

Oh my!
How time flies
When you are having fun
Keep the phasers on stun
For today we celebrate
No matter if gay or straight
Our king and superhero
Will add a few years to the zero

Hip hip hooray!
Happy 79th birthday
Captain Sulu aka George Takei!
