This one, inspired by my son’s birthday today.
Creepy spiders, badger’s nest, perhaps dinner for two
A wizard and a warlock and of course a witch’s brew
An amulet, a cigarette, those keys you never found
Spare coins, the remote control, the pet you thought had drowned
The wallet years gone missing though you never knew to where
Amazing the things you will find while combing Jesse’s hair.
Happy Birthday Jesse!
P.S. Thank you to everyone who voted for my son’s band in the Metal Devastation Band of the Month poll. They actually won! They got a blog spot featured here and will be in heavy rotation on the station all month as well as being featured on their Facebook page. I’m sure my son would be overjoyed if, as a birthday gift, you would give his band a like on Facebook or follow them on Instagram.

Happy birthday to the fellow Scorpio young lad
Thank you Kunal!
Yay! Mazel Tov and I knew they’d win! (Liking and following them next)

Ps. If this funny poem was on my blog about my kid, you wouldn’t need to rhyme all those difficult words– you’d just rhyme lice. 😉
Ha, ha! I am familiar with your lice excerpts… but not lice because, you know, that’s never happened to me or my kids!! (I wish.)
Congratulations are the order of the day, young Marissa
Ha, ha! I am familiar with your lice excerpts… but not lice because, you know, that’s never happened to me or my kids!! (I wish.)
Okay, then I’ll have two!
Yay Jesse!! Happy Birthday 😃
Thank you Joanne!
Happy birthday to Jesse! Rock rock til you drop (don’t become corporate like Def leppard though)!
Ha! So funny! I’m wearing a Def Leppard shirt and my husband was just saying how he almost wore his and then we reflected about how we really only liked their first three albums! Thank you for the kind wishes!
Haha, that’s awesome!! Too funny! You’re welcome, Marissa!
Birthday, Halloween, band tops “charts”. You must be so proud 🙂
I like the headline!
Haha! So what is my boys’ rooms is your son’s hair… lol! This is wonderful to hear that they won. So, my congratulations and happy birthday to Jesse!!!
Right, well it would be his room if it didn’t all get caught in his hair first! Lol and thanks for the kind wishes!
😄😄
Shalom Shalom – Mazel Tove – tove meaud – so good and enjoyable to read your post…this is stunning post!!
Very appropriate! Thank you Mihrank!
Great little poem, Marissa. That hair must be pretty thick and impressive to hide such a plethora of stuff. Just the kind of hair a rock star needs. Happy Birthday, Jesse! 🙂
Oh, you have no idea! Thank you Joan!
Wooohooo! Happy Birthday!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Jesse! Congratulations to the band! And I enjoyed the HAIR before I even read the post. LOVE the picture!
Thank you Colleen! The hair is best enjoyed from a far…LOL!
Ha! I’ve had long hair….I know what you mean!
Happy Birthday and Congrats!
Thank you Lana!
Happy birthday to Jesse!
I love hidden things in wild, unruly hair (like wallets Lol).
Hope there was chocolate. . . 🍫🍩🍪
I am not on FB nor Instagram, so sorry!!
Ha, Ha! chocolate is always great…but maybe not when it’s in someone’s hair!
Well, chocolate in cakes, cookies or ice cream. . . Poison in the spell it gives off.
I like chocolate covered bacon. My ex still likes to cook and white chocolate covered thick-sliced bacon is worth waiting for even; just one piece!
Happy Birthday, Jesse! You must be SO proud of your son, Marissa. I’m covered in goosebumps!!! 💝
I’m a pretty proud mama!
Congrats to your son’s band for winning!
Thank you!
Your son rocks!
Thank you Lara!
That is GREAT his band won!! The power of shameless mothers…. =)
Ha, ha! Yes, for sure!
Happy birthday to you son. I’m late again but that is one of my talents! I’m always so impressed by you and your family and how you can be creative together and celebrate the talents you so clearly have 🙂
Thank you Peter! I think your sentiments make up for the fact that you are nearly a month late! Ha, ha!
Sorry about that. Being good with dates is not my thing 😦
