The one with the birthday

For the next year I will be 31, and even though I am not particularly fond of my own birthday, I thought I might celebrate with a little Roald Dahl poem. Because, who doesn't like macaroons, balloons & baboons?

The one with Dorothy Parker

Lately, I've seen lots of Dorothy Parker quotes floating around on Pinterest that made me smile. I wondered who this woman was, who said things like 'this wasn't just plain terrible, this was fancy terrible, this was terrible with raisins in it'. She has even been quoted by Sheldon Cooper. In my search for information about Dorothy, I came across this very lovely poem.
