Happy Birthday Ashley!

25 Years: A Birthday Poem

From Cap’n Cook’s wife,
to the Dolomites,
Dear, Ashley, you’ve led such a remarkable life!
 
From JTT
To J-14,
You’ve realized our childhood magazine dreams!
 
From Shamu shows
to Broadway shows,
I’m still the cute one, you’ve got the nose!
 
From Hell’s Kitchen,
to YouTube kittens,
Aren’t you impressed by my good use of diction?


From dissin’ Ben Affleck on TRL
to pinning our favorite wedding veils!
(and favorite shoes
and something blue
and dresses, and colors, and messy up-do’s
my, how that pinning gets the best of you!)

Remember Ralph* and remember Bricriu?
Are you experiencing deja vu?


In the end,
It’s the places we’ve been
that’ll matter most when
we’re old and we’re grey
and we sit back and say
Remember “yoouu agaaaain!?”
Remember Sandy Coh-en?
And we’ll laugh and we’ll grin,
cause the prize we did win,
was not just being cousins,
but being best friends!
