You turned 20 this week and I was afraid you would die of old age. You were born to your father, Azzouz, February 29th, 1932. And I'm worried about you. You look young for your age, but you're not supposed to. You shouldn't have drank all of those beers that you have been drinking for the past 50 years. I laugh sometimes, when I realize that come 35 you'll be the oldest man alive.

Namesake
I saw you yesterday in the cafet3ria
Wearing the sweater that brought back memories
Of the day I met you, and the curiosity exhibited when I first learned your name
And I dreamed we got along famously
And you introduced me to your extended family
Back home where you were born,
The only state, island, continent, and country in all of the world
And I dreamed I’d visit via connecting flight
From Middle Earth, of which the tours are affordable
But I’d be detained by a customs officer
Who found my replica of Narsil disagreeable
Oh, you are just a national capital
And oh, you are just a Pittsburgh penguin
But mostly you’re a stone house, with strong foundations
A chateau with a moat that’s difficult to cross
And I dreamed you’d teach me to boomerang
Before we’d visit the opera where I would
Get myself cultured and learn your foreign ways
And finally find out what the hell a joey is
And I dreamed of wallabies dancing in the prairie
While waltzing Matilda is having a threeway
As we light the barbie in preparation
Aboriginals are staying for supper!
Oh, you are just a national capital
And oh, you are just a Pittsburgh penguin
But mostly you’re the host of the y2k olympics
A half head of hair that I wholly adore

As you took me to the hospital that night
I asked you to hear my final request
Yes I said. Keep your fingers crossed.
As we waited next to that drunken guy
Who hated the world and started to cry
Yes I said. Keep your fingers crossed.
Keep your fingers crossed for surgery
Keep your fingers crossed for suturing
But keep your finger crossed for me
The ultrasound whirred and I said to you
You’ve known me two months but you see me through and through.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
My girlfriend sat idly by while
The nurse and I were falling in love
I told her. Keep your fingers crossed.
Keep your fingers crossed for surgery
Keep your fingers crossed for suturing
But keep your finger crossed for me
My fingers were crossed so I wouldn’t be
I was hoping to get tied down in surgery
I kept my fingers crossed
Keep your fingers crossed for surgery
Keep your fingers crossed for suturing
But keep your finger crossed for me

Eye to eye, you spoke the truth
It opened my heart
Shut for so long, ever so slightly
Sunshine on ice
I melted
And shed one solitary
One solitary tear
But you found somebody new
And if you do not mind
I'll be moving on
And hanging up my hat
For solitary
But I remember that dress that you loved to wear
I remember the feel of my fingers in your hair
But actually I never really liked you
Cuz you still don't understand me
No you never really understand me
And you still don't understand me
I am better off solitarily

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
And he sang as he sat and he waiting while his billy boiled
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
Anders: That's how it should start. I'm going to do it.
Seannie P: I'll join on that
Anders: I'm going to do it! 100 percent.
ChrissyDAD: *gasps for air

change your mind
not all of us
are two dust bunnies hiding under a door
change your mind
not all of us
are two legs of table twisted up
careful darling
don't you worry!
