HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALE!!! I hope you have a wonderful birthday, cheers to you! 
I am but a Newbie and here is my song.
Short is my story and brief is my tale.
New though I am, I’m so glad I belong,
so thanks to the Chiffers and thank you to Dale.
Here are Whistlers and Pipers and numerous others–
in search of the craic, in pursuit of their grail.
In dispute and discussion we learn from each other,
so thanks to the Chiffers and thank you to Dale.
Weak is my embouchure, sloppy my ornaments,
often I’m squeaky and clumsy and frail,
but when I come here I feel helped and encouraged,
so thanks to the Chiffers and thank you to Dale.
Sometimes I lust to see fresh new Flute Lichen,
sometimes my tunes all seem just a bit stale,
but here there are sound clips! and droolworthy pictures!!
so thanks to the Chiffers and thank you to Dale.
Galaxies, microbrews, puns and rare animals,
veg’tarian dishes with endive and kale,
Wond’rous the realm of Poststructural Pub-ness! so…
cheers to the Chiffers! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DALE!!!
There is point where horseplay instead becomes punishment, and Dale has passed it. 
Trust me. Anyone wants to spank me swat-for-year on my next birthday, they’ll have to fight me for the privilege if they think it’s so worth it.
Everybody keeps getting older. I don’t know why I find it vaguely depressing. After all, they always did.
Happy birthday Dale.
