fanny at forty



 

Happy birthday Fanita, you never get old

Just prettier and wiser and a good bit more bold

And better at board games and scrabble and such

(Though I for one hope you don’t improve too much)

 

And happy birthday to Philip who was there at the start,

As you grew up, you captured his heart

He and your mama played such a big part

Of how you became such a sweetheart

 

And now you’ve got Ryan, and your love’s so much bigger

That how you contain it, I just cannot figger

So happy birthday dear Fanny, long may you reign

As the queen of our hearts and the boss of our brains

In 40 more years we’ll be turning up daisies

And won’t be around to make you so crazy!
