Let's make this birthday one to remember.

56 years old (Born on July 04, 1968)

Happy birthday, Sasha Skenderija! Another year wiser and still no dwarfs harmed in the making of your poetry—well, except that one unfortunate dwarf who had to be shot. Your words continue to captivate us all, proving once again why you're Bosnia's literary treasure.

From "Cape of Good Hope" to every verse you've penned since, you keep reminding us how humor and depth can coexist beautifully on a page. May this next chapter bring even more poetic brilliance (and fewer fictional casualties). Here's hoping your day is filled with laughter, inspiration—and absolutely zero dwarfs needing rescue!

Cheers to you!
