MARTIN, OH MY FRIEND MARTIN...

I posted something for you at both the other site and here, or so I thought I did. Could it be that I used the Advanced Editor for the very first time and did something wrong? All I know is that the post is missing! It's not here! And, gee, but it looked so good after I hit the "Post Article" button! For once, I had everything centered, colored, and downright looking good! That was a few days ago. Yeah, but, where is it? Was it ever here?

Well, it isn't going to look as nice...because I can't make things look so nice in Standard Editor. But, I really do want the darn thing to be posted here, so I'm putting it in again (in the Standard Editor). If you, or anyone else, would like to see it in it's "fancy form", you can also see it over at Blogster.

So, Martin, I do apologize for the missing post. Here is the less fancy version...hopefully, you will like it...


You might think this post is late

And my timing isn't so great,

That, too, I'm slow...but, wait!

I DIDN'T MISS THE DATE!



If you think I missed it, don't whine!

If you think I forgot it, that's asinine!

If you think I'm too slow, well, that's fine,

But, the truth is, THERE WAS NO FEB 29!



One can't miss a date that wasn't there.

And I didn't forget anything, I swear.

Agree that I'm slow in saying this, that's fair,

But I'm here now, so DON'T DESPAIR!



You see, ANY day can be "the" day.

So, posting this now is really okay.

This year, no calendar stands in the way

Of telling me when it's alright to say......



HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARTIN, MY FRIEND!

THE BEST OF BIRTHDAY WISHES I SEND!

UNTIL ANOTHER LEAP YEAR DOES ASCEND

CELEBRATE ON EVERY DAY AGAIN AND AGAIN!
