Birthday Again. Comical poem 746 by Angela Lansbury.

 


May you live to be a hundred

May you live to see a hundred

People gather smiling at you

They can't go wrong singing a song


How old are you?

They haven't a clue

You look so young

You're so much fun


Fifty, sixty, seven, eighty

Each decade sound much more weighty

Years pass fast when you're having fun

I want to repeat twenty-one


As the candles burn

it's your turn

to blow them out

and give a shout


Thank you for your presence

Balloons and cards

Finding something nice to tell us

Really isn't very hard


What's the secret of living long?

Is it hiding or striding strong?

Eat good food or like a small drink

Exercise, or soothe what you think?


Think of flowers and butterflies

Cakes, balloons, candles in your eyes

Think of friends, laughter and Champagne

Have a great year, meet here again.

Three Close Friends Wine Tasting comical poem 671 by Angela Lansbury

'Hello, my name is Natalie, 

Here's Janet, that is Beverly

I have a husband, he's not here

He's not a wine man, he likes beer'

Beverley buys a plate of cheese

She hands it round, 'Do take some, please,'

She sends the plate round the table

Making friends, she is capable


Three good friends, smiling and happy

Three good friends, friendly, chatty

Every night they're out and about

They'll live to a hundred, I've no doubt.
