Happy Birthday, Douglas Dunn! May your day be filled with more joy than a donkey's ear twitching at poetic praise. Your verses in "Love or Nothing" and the eloquence of "St. Kilda’s Parliament" have left readers chuckling thoughtfully for decades—proof that poetry can indeed age better than fine whisky.Congratulations on all you've achieved—from winning both the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize to snagging the prestigious Hawthornden Prize; clearly, you're collecting literary awards faster than Scotland collects rainy days! Here's wishing you another year full of inspiration, laughter-filled stanzas, and critics who nod approvingly rather than scratch their heads.
