Best Birthday Card Ever

With much thanks to my friend Harriett, and also to Dr. Seuss, whose characters appear all over the card:

It’s Your Day to Make Some Noise!

Today’s the day!

It’s finally here!

Don’t be bashful!

Give a cheer!

(Just because you’re older now, don’t pretend you don’t know how!)

ZANG a cymbal!

BLOOT a horn!

Celebrate that you were born!

It’s your day!

No time for pouting!

Don’t just sit there!

Do some shouting!

Toot a TOOZLER!

Twang a ZONG!

Sing a made-up birthday song!

YIP and YELL from here to Boise.

It’s your birthday!

Let’s get noisy!

* * *


I plan to toot toozlers and twang zongs the rest of the weekend, personally. I do wonder, though, why “YIP and YELL from here to Boise” didn’t deserve an exclamation point?

    It is quite possible that Boise has never appeared anywhere with an exclamation point after it.
