We discovered on my fifteenth birthday, that I was born in November. Like the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party from Alice in Wonderland today is my un-birthday. With two birthdays, I should be famous.

Back in 1972

to have a social security card was considered cool

but as luck would have it to my surprise

I was born a whole month later without reason why

fifteen has its own set of dilemmas but add wrong birthday on school records

sigh

Went through all the possibilities

wrote three letters to the powers that be

could not come up with why my parents could not remember my birthday

from then on I claimed them both

and double in age every year

in November, I turn 104

not so severe

    Whenever it is have a happy one. Remember, the older you get the fewer things seem worth standing in line for.
