OK I am a day early as I usually post the Buzzy birthdays on the first day of the month. I was going to introduce this with something along the lines of how it is usually good advice to be early rather than late and make a reference to that saying about the early bird getting the worm.
However, when I did a little checking on how that saying came to be, I found this Shel Silversten ditty from his Where the Side Walk Ends:
My niece Jean Hofmeister 1 June; my grandson Shawn Ridgell 2 June; Teeny Boy June 11; my sister Donna Jean Taylor 12 June; Kayla McKay 13 June; Lee Carroll 17 June; Cheryl Trossbach on 18 June; Sheryl Mandeville 22 June; my great nephew Wyatt Taylor 23 June; my nephew Todd Taylor 28 June; and Michelle Lengel on 29 June.
Early Bird
Oh, if you are a bird, be an early bird
And catch the worm for your breakfast plate.
If you’re a bird, be an early, early bird –
But if you’re a worm, sleep late.
That in turn reminded me of something I once heard about how the second mouse is always the one who gets the cheese. Maybe I need to rethink that being-early-is-good-business.
Here then, a day early, are the Buzzy birthdays that we celebrate this coming month:
My niece Jean Hofmeister 1 June; my grandson Shawn Ridgell 2 June; Teeny Boy June 11; my sister Donna Jean Taylor 12 June; Kayla McKay 13 June; Lee Carroll 17 June; Cheryl Trossbach on 18 June; Sheryl Mandeville 22 June; my great nephew Wyatt Taylor 23 June; my nephew Todd Taylor 28 June; and Michelle Lengel on 29 June.
