A Beautiful Poem By VC

As the sun prepares to rise this August 13^th day, TODobots all gather with words to say. Our bright mayorial light celebrates another year. Undimmed, resplendent, undaunted by fear. Faced with political lies, hate and hypocrisy Mayor Chips highlights them for all to see. As the sun rises on this very special birthday, TODobots all gather with words to say ‘Chips you are special.  Chips you are dear; Not expensive, not costly, just a cherished dear. Chips you are special.  Chips you are rare. Rarer than mankinis, Benghazigates and …GOP fear.’

As TODobots gather for this special day’s unfurling Some are eager to share the mem’ries they’re a-holding:- – Chips’ pictures are delightful! Remember the ‘potties’ That earned acclaim from gracious celebrities? -Charmingly, eagerly seeking a virtual mate Our Mayor cajoles in dresses first rate. -Sprinkling marriage proposals aloft like confetti She lures Japa, Bobfr,…. plus others I’ve forgotten. ‘Chips you are special.  Chips you are dear. Not expensive, not costly, just a precious dear. Chips you are special.  Chips you are rare. Stronger than mankinis,  Benghazigates and …GOP fear.’

Mayor Chips built TODdy-town by the sweat of her brow; Razing the trolls as she patrolled the town alone …  till now. Then reflecting, reassessing, Mayor Chips picked helpers, Thus teaching and taunting and nurturing great bloggers. Next the Mayor decided to cede some space; so  Utal Climbed up – a scouting-pics, zapping-trolls kind of pal. Behold, the sun rises on this long-awaited birthday, And TODobots are here with words to say:- ‘Chips you are special.  Chips you are rare. More loved than mankinis, Benghazigates and … GOP fear. Chips you are special.  Chips you are dear. Not expensive. Not costly, … just endearingly dear!’

                                   ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ A VERY, VERY HAPPY ‘21^st again’, Mayor Chips! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥♥ ♥

Hey Chiparoo, UT here. How much do I think you’re a bundle of loveliness? So much that I willingly put up a picture of Wayne Rooney for you to stare at in delight all day. You, my friend, deserve all the happiness and joy in the world. Thank you for TOD. Thank you for creating a community of pretty darn awesome people. Thank you for never closing up shop even when you were constantly hit with a barrage of crap. Thank you for your humor, thank you for your dignity, and most of all, thank you for being a Manchester United fan because our football interactions have brought many a smile to my face.

From TODers to you: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
