You have birthdays? How is it
That I have never heretofore
Been informed? I suppose, too,
That you follow the discredited
Custom of counting your years
Sequentially? Give it up now;
Be one hundred three this year
Fourteen the next and eleventy-six
Some time after that. Eleventy-six
Sees elaborate ceremonies
And amazing gifts. Also, for some reason,
A crocodile.
