Birthday

Claire

"On the first of May 1968,
A girl was born, my sisters mate,
We had to be together, it’s simply fate,
She played hard to get and made me wait.

But I kept trying to make her mine,
And 22 years later we’re doing fine,
I thank Oxford for bring her near,
And to my sister for getting her here.

Claire Williams is the name on my lips,
She’s salt and vinegar and I am the chips,
As the time goes by and we stay as one,
Other famous couples have come and gone.

Well you’re nearly forty and I still love you,
To keep me happy just do what you do,
Happy Birthday and all of my best,
I am so happy with you in my nest." 

 

 

 

 Mary Jane

"For Petes sake the waiting is done,
A new Gemini Angel life has began,
At 8 lbs 13 she was a bit of a fatty,
This beautiful baby they are going to call Hattie.

On the 21st of June as the day was dawning,
Out came Mary Jane while Megan was yawning,
936, that time they will surely remember,
The latest edition, a new family member.

Jackie and Steve can’t contain their glee,
Norma as well all grandparents three.
This new wonderful child, a pleasure to hold,
To cuddle and kiss, a miracle is told."

 

Mark

"Well Angus –Edward- Bent
Another Birthday, over 40 done and spent,
Mar 66 marched in your but,
Another Squaddy ,Oh Tut, Tut,

20 years we’ve been in this game,
Your looking old, but I look the same,
That Belfast Jewellers where we saw the ring,
To Pizzarelly, a Queen for your king,

You could’nt pose the question till all had gone,
We couldn’t get married till garden shopping was done,
My fathers blessing you had to get,
Keep me accustomed, don’t talk wet.

Well my soldier, my monkey as well,
Happy Birthday, your age I won’t tell,
Lets think of the cake and not of the candles,
Look at my face and not at my handles.

Have a great day my darling Mark,
Lets take in a film or go to the park.
Lets be honest and speak of the truth,
We’re nearer to pension than being a youth."

 

Birthday (Speech)

 "On the 12th April 1958, I joined in this race,
It’s now 50 years, since that took place,
My name is Jayne with a Y don’t forget,
But take it from me, I'm not finished yet.

Welcome to this barn dance one and all,
Cowboy hats and boots to appear quite tall,
I had a few worries about having this doo,
As I've played a few tricks on one or two of you.

I fancied a trip to go to the states,
Avoid repercussions from some of my mates,
Disneyland ideally, now don't you snigger,
With Eyeor, Donald Duck and of course Tigger.

In school I favoured sport and a hockey stick,
Than sowing and cooking, I'm no dumb chick,
My cooking is awful, as some of you know,
If I had a dinner no one would go.

But I can’t speak of my life with out a mention,
To Steven of course as we get close to pension,
We have 5 lovely cats and a dog called Sweep,
If push comes to shove I know which I'd keep.

So to some up my life as this milestone reaches,
I don't want champagne, strawberries or peaches,
Just give me my JAG and the highest roller coaster,
Coz the next 50 years I making the Moster.

So heres to Steven and his little Mini car,
30 years in the Police and that’s just so far,
Life’s for the living and not for the Sleeping,
I love my life and that’s what I'm keeping."
