A poem from Attila Jozef. Should read "fifty two" instead of "thirty two"
Today I have turned thirty-two,
my present is this verse I'll do:
pretty
ditty.
A gift with which I'll now surprise,
in this cafe apostrophise
my self
myself.
Thirty-two years have disappeared,
a living wage is what I need
my land!
my land ...
I could have been an educator--
not a fountain-pen wearer-outer
busted
bastid.
But I didn't because at school
I got busted by a fool
master-
tester.
His warning hit me swift and raw
(my "I'm an orphan" verse he saw);
the land
with hand
uplifted he is sworn to save.
My spirit shall now implicate

Thank you.
Souri
by Delavar1 on Thu Feb 03, 2011 01:38 PM PSTThat was just a joke.
Happy birthday.
Thank you, thank you, thank you
by Souri on Thu Feb 03, 2011 01:33 PM PSTI don't know how to thank you guys! So many good friends, all my favourite people are gathered in the same blog to greet Rea and myself? So nice of you. I love you guys. I'm truly humbled .
A special thank to Princess: I really appreciated, this was very unexpected.
Alobrz gerami, Majid, Nazy jon, Azarin aziz va doust dashtani (my hero :)), Mehrban, Cost of Progress, Darius, Roozbeh aziz, Monaye nazanain, Farah khanom and all: A big thank to you my dears. Your thoughtful messages touches my heart.
JJ jon: Sheitoon? Ki man? Ki in? ......man teflak saadeh masoom? man sheitounam ya to? ;-) Thanks for thinking of me.
MPD and Mash Ghasem: You belated ones!! I was expecting you here, sooner than that. What's wrong? Namehraban shodid :) Thank you.
Ahang aziz: How nice to see you here. You humbled me, Madame.
Simorgh: bazam shoukhi? Thank you.
Also a big thank you those friends who posted warm messages for me at facebook and by email.
Wow, I am so excited to see so much love and good wills on my Birth Day. It's like a child's dream coming true !
From the bottom of my heart I say: THANK YOU DEAR FRIENDS.
What was that? A BD wish?
by Souri on Thu Feb 03, 2011 12:58 PM PSTShould I consider that as a greeting from you, Delavar1? I believe you are wrong. Some of the anti-Zionist people around here, are among my virtual friends. I am in very good term with some of those you call "regime supporter" whom in fact are not truly the regime supporter (or appologist) but have political ideas which differ from mine. But those persons ususally comment only in serious blogs. This one is not a seriuos blog, so I do understand why I don't see them here and I have no problem with that.
Cheers;
Souri you must be a zionist
by Delavar1 on Thu Feb 03, 2011 12:36 PM PSTSince I don't see any messages here from either theparanoid Sargord Pirouz or Mehdi ; mola Nasredeen;Niloufar Parsi and other supporters and apologists and condoners of the theocratic Islamist regime of terror in Iran, Please allow me to guess what they would have commented re you and your birthday.
Since your avatar doesn't show you in Hijab or veil, thenyou must be a zionist and possibly a spy working for the mosad or CIA. Or you maybe a communist for KGB.
Souri jan, I wanted to congratulate you
by Anahid Hojjati on Thu Feb 03, 2011 12:40 PM PSTOn your actual Birthday. I hope you are having fun. I also hope this year will be a fantastic year for you. Full of poetry, love, music and all other great things in life.

by Simorgh5555 on Thu Feb 03, 2011 12:05 PM PSTHAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Dear Rea, I have not met you in person but from your writing I know you treated yourself to an interesting Birthday celebration. Loved your haikus by the way :o)
