amos celebrates his birthday

boss having a birthday

isn t so bad - if only

you didn t have to age any

you ask me how old i

am but i think i ll adopt

the same policy that

the giant redwoods of

california fame have -

never reveal your age

until it s all over - and

above all never outlive

your usefulness

boss i woke up this

morning feeling rather

decrepit and worn-out

even my cozy little

matchbox bed looked

like it had a lot of old

gray cobwebs all around it

when i rolled out of

bed i stubbed my litte

mousy paw - it hurts

more when you get

older you know boss -

my favorite cheesecloth

suit looked tattered and

worn even my shoes were

old and wrinkled

life seemed dreary dismal

and gloomy
