For what it’s worth, water from the hose is more appealing than the amount of spit that blowing out the candles would have generated.
Ancient Edgar’s Birthday
Ancient Edgar, old and great,
lived to be two-thousand-eight.
All those candles in a row.
Ancient Edgar tried to blow…
Though he blew for one whole year,
half their flames still flicker here.
One year older than before,
no one wants to add one more.
Happy 67th birthday to my dad tomorrow!
