HAPPY BIRTHDAY "MARVELOUS" MARV!

Marv's birthday party had barely just begun.
Nutty Nutmeg charged all 'round, not one to be outdone.

Jo Jo already begging for cake.  
Kozmo up high, then jumping down. 
Our Midway guests exclaimed, "WHAT A PAWTY!",
these friends from our small town.

You see, we were here to celebrate Marv's NUMBER NINE!
No more single digits for he.
So t'was impawtent to make the most of it,
and all our guests did agree.


So, the pawty roared on.
All were having great fun.
Sharing whisker kisses. No hisses!
And none would miss us ...
Not a one...

And as late afternoon came 'round,
Marv and I slipped away, for
alone time together, to a secret spot we had found.

By the banks of Kettle River,
our soft blanket we spread.
Set out wine, a little cheese,
as we wondered what lay ahead.

The sun was slowly setting among the trees to the West.
The birds music fading as they settled in their nests.
River waters drifted by, the softest of sound.
Each of our hearts, beginning to pound.



All that came next is a tail not to be told.
Yet a tail old as time ...

We paws.
We pause a moment ...
For 'tis a tail you're not meant to know.
