One bird with two stones - When work and blog collide!


I’ve been writing a lot of toasts lately, which is ironic because I’m awful at actually giving them.

What I know now and what I should have realized then is that I should have made them rhyme.  They would have been more successful. 

A few of my current favorites:

A toast to the boys from back home;
      Who made me the man that I am;
       One day a year;
       We all do this cheer;
       and go back to not giving a damn.

Hoist a cup to those interred
In memory where they lay;
And if you choke
It’s their cruel joke
They hated you anyway.

Here’s to my friend, a singular man
And his peculiar smell that lingers.
Always a pal
He’ll raise your morale
Just don’t pull one of his fingers

Here’s to a night out with the boys
Making memories as we go.
Always high-fiving
And always imbibing
Together the travelling shit show.

Gather round and raise your mug
To another auld land syne.
It’s been swell
and it’s just as well
‘cause I had sex with all of your wives.



Okay that last one doesn’t rhyme.  I never said it was easy.
