I insisted on a Christmas get together with my wrinkly friends. After all it is Jesus' Birthday that we are celebrating so I reckon Birthday bear should celebrate..
This year I came dressed as a Christmas Tree with bauble earrings and a star on top.
Ann is the one who helped me get dressed for the party.
We had a buffet dinner at the Greenbank RSL Club. From the left Kathy, Paul, Bill, Diane, ME, Ann, George, Helen, and Mary.
Ann also made up a poem about ME and included all the characters that I have portrayed (She is the clever one):
THE BIRTHDAY BEAR
I am the no-sexual Birthday Bear;
And my personalities I would like to share;
I have been a fisherman – twice in fact;
And once I wore a fisherman’s hat;
I have also traveled by coach outback;
Was a film producer not long after that;
Became an author of no-renown;
As a grey nomad hit the road to travel ‘round’;
On a boat trip I was a teacher;
As a dancing diva a glamorous boa did feature;
A blogging bear created some talk;
Another time I was decked out for a walk;
Once I was depicted sipping wine;
Whilst enjoying a boat cruise down the Rhine,
A Scotsman who in his cupboard, had a skeleton or two;
A theatre audience member – I’ve been that too;
Why, even as Christmas came my way;
With sled and Rudolph, Santa Clause I did play;
I have been a cowboy riding a “cobweb broom horse”;
Cruised on the Brisbane River as the other fisherman, of course;
Flew to Townsville in the tropical north;
Taking my bikini, sunshade and money purse;
A volunteer in a library – I was that also;
Even a gardener watching the lemons grow;
An elegant chorister in a CWA choir;
A lawn bowler decked out in white bowls attire;
My breath was taken away and almost my speech;
As a whale watcher – witnessing their amazing breech;
My varied personas have been filled with glee;
But what’s this – now I’m a green CHRISTMAS TREE!
