Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on January 30, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Les Barker! May your day be filled with more laughs than a room full of collies reciting "Collieflowers," and may you continue to charm us all with your paw-sitively hilarious poetic genius. From the witty verses in "Bark Odes" to the musical mischief of "Beagles, Bangles and Beads," you've fetched countless smiles from audiences everywhere.

Your canine-inspired comedy has truly stood the test of time—proving once again that laughter is man's (and dog's) best friend. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as you've given us through every clever rhyme and playful parody performance!
