No, not that anniversary—that was yesterday.
And, actually, the anniversary I’m referring to is tomorrow. For it was September 13th, 2005 that I posted the first Parry & Carney comic strip on this site.
A moment of silence for Parry—and all whose fires were extinguished before their time…No, not that anniversary—that was yesterday.

A moment of silence for Parry—and anyone else who warrants it…
A SONG FOR CARNEY
In honour of the one-year anniversary of Parry & Carney
By Debbie Ridpath Ohi
Carney, here’s a song for you
And though it has no chorus
or music, hey, it’s hard to find
a rhyme for carnotaurus.
As for parasaurolophus,
a rhyme’s out of the question,
Besides, Carney bit off Parry’s head
without trace of indigestion!
THE END
(PAIR-uh-SOAR-uh-LOW-fuss) per http://www.nmmnh-abq.mus.nm.us/nmmnh/sci_parasaur.html
The doubters try to show us
Unrhymed parasaurolophus.
But if they had really known us
And our mad harmonic onus
They would fear to ever loan us
A sesquipedalian sonus
Such as this.
And, actually, as soon as I posted it I realized it should have been:
The doubters try to show us
Unrhymed parasaurolophus.
But if they had really known us
And our mad harmonic onus
They would fear to ever loan us
A sesquipedalian sonus
Such as parasaurolophus.
Bonus!
Curse you, I still can’t let it go - final (I hope) polish:
The doubters try to show us
Unrhymed parasaurolophus.
But if they had really known us
And our mad harmonic onus
They would fear to ever loan us
A sesquipedalian opus
Keeping us glued to our sofas
Like with parasaurolophus.
Bonus!
