Poem: Lux Dieis Natalis

[nebroadwe]

In honor of evil_little_dog's natal day, I post this tanka on behalf of Edward Elric:

Stumbling in darkness,
Haunted by whispers until
Light breaks in at last:

Who'd have thought that birthday cake
Could hold so many candles?

What can I say? He's a snarky one, he is.

Many happy returns!

Yes, Ed, we're very well aware of that. (Considers making comment about stamina and youth but decides against it, Ed certainly wouldn't get it.)

He'd certainly get, "Age and experience always beat youth and a bad haircut," though. [Tries to act like Ed isn't within earshot.]

BWAHH.

Not exactly the terminology I was thinking of but yes, yes, that works, as well.

Why, what terminology were you thinking of, then?

Oh, something decidedly more wicked...because my brain lives in the gutter. *grins*

Ah, yes. Should've remembered that, except with the "evil" in your userid I keep envisioning you in the basement, surrounded by Tesla coils and bubbling retorts (with a hunchbacked assistant playing the theremin, of course) and just possibly getting ready to shout, "It's alive! It's aliiive!" over a quivering pile of manuscript pages ...

Oooo, if only. If only.
