"On June 1st I celebrated by 140 million and 11th birthday," said Stegosaurus. "This year was very special, because just as he had promised me, my friend Congresssaurus Triceratops stomped into Colorado for a visit."
"Hello, Congresssaurus Triceratops! Welcome to Colorado! Thank you for coming to visit and taking time out of your busy schedule to celebrate MY birthday!"
"I am very glad to stop and visit; it gives me a chance to rest my weary claws, and spending time with good friends is always pleasant." rejoined Congresssaurus Triceratops.
"How are things in Wyoming?" asked Stegosaurus.
"I did stomp from my native State after visiting my constituents," said Congressaurus Triceratops. "I love my constituents, and they love me, but I am really feeling it necessary to retire soon. I want to get out before the meteors start falling ... I will make an announcement once I return to DC."
"We did discuss a Gardening venture when I was in DC last month," said Stegosaurus. "I would be pleased to have your help on my cucumber project, and we can expand the garden to grow what ever you'd like."
"Though an old dinosaur, I am but a young gardener," observed Congresssaurus Triceratops.
"Now look, I have a cake for my birthday," observed Stegosaurus.
"Cakes sound like a mammal tradition," said Congressaurus Triceratops.
"They are a mammal tradition, and though pretty well set in my ways after more than 140 million years, a birthday cake is a modern tradition I have adopted."
"I had best brush all of my 800 teeth after this cake," said Congresssaurus Triceratops. "It looks delicious."
"It is," said Stegosaurus. "I usually get the same kind of cake every year, a coconut cream cake because I also like to eat a good coconut tree now and again, if I am lucky enough to find one. If I do I have to travel; they don't grow well in Colorado since polar ice caps were invented."
"I haven't eaten one myself in a long time," said Congressaurus Triceratops. "Cheers to your birthday, friend Stegosaurus! May this year be a year of prosperity for you, and may you live for millions more yet to come!"
