Happy birthday to you
I went to the zoo
I saw a fat monkey
but I didn’t think it was you because I don’t use creationist logic.
Keep up the blog!
Have a happy birthday!
Have a happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you
And to our Lord too
You don’t look like a monkey
Because you’re a created child of God
Uriel! Shhh! We need to keep quite in order to infiltrate the ranks of these hell-bound heathens (who secretly beleive in Our Lord)…
Perverts and sodomites, the lot of them.
Greta … happy birthday. I can’t think of any witty birthday verses, but I can send you a dozen long-stem e-roses:

Happy birthday to Greta
Cake, balloons and confetta-
Best wishes for the new year
Because life is wonderful and worthwhile without having to believe that you were created by a magic man who watches you day and night to keep track of his personalized Plan for your life.
That really doesn’t work, does it?

Roses are red.

Happy birthday to you,
And, uh … ah, heck, the last line’s not supposed to rhyme, anyway, right? 🙂
Happy Birthday to you,
And a good New Year’s, too!
May you write more pages
Than Foley can do.
😀
Discovered your blog this year, and have greatly enjoyed all of your posts (including the cat pictures). Peace to you and Ingrid!

Happy Birthday Greta. And Happy New Year too.
Happy Birthday to you!
To this blog I am new.
But you now have a friend,
In a Texas public school…
Dang! That kinda rhymed. Oh well. Keep up the nice work out there!
Happy birthday to you,
All angry and witty and wise.
Here’s for a New Year of joy,
And the best kind of pain besides.
😉
Happy Birthday, Greta Christina!
And by a remarkable coincidence, my birthday is the day after yours. 57 years decrepit.
wishing you a happy fun brilliant jumpy smooth slutty lolling sweet and tangy birthday!
Happy 2008 too. With Love from Jenine and Dan
Birthday greetings from the frozen north!
happy belated birthday!
Happy birthday to you
amphixous(sp?) says so too
we all have a common ancestor
and the creationists are wrong!
Happy Belated Birthday to you
You don’t live in a shoe
I can’t prove a negative
And neither can anyone else
In view of recent events:
Happy Birthday to you
You can’t go to the zoo
Tigers instinctively chase prey
Because they evolved that way!
Happy Birthday. Again, thank you for your consoling words on death.
