1. Free, member-only e-card
This free birthday ecard features an original cover design by www.paddywacka.com and an original poem by Serenson Pty Ltd. The cover says "Here are the words to 'Happy Birthday' before they were changed to plain English...". The original poem is inside:
Merry Natal Anniversary
May mirthful natal festivity,
be from sunrise to sundown,
on the personage known grammatically,
by the second-person pronoun.
The above sentiment recapitulated,
by the third mentioning,
your name will be duly stipulated,
the word “Dear” antecedenting.
So that I might not be cursory,
I say one more time around,
merry natal anniversary,
to the personage
of the second-person pronoun.
