BIRTHDAY WISHES TO CHERYL – 21\/ 4 \/ 75<\/p>\n
Since, Cheryl dear, we’re stuck up here<\/p>\n
alone with mother nature,<\/p>\n
you will not hear our birthday song<\/p>\n
in C or Bb major.<\/p>\n
And though we simply cannot give<\/p>\n
you close felicitation<\/p>\n
across these distant miles we send<\/p>\n
our verse-atile vibrations.<\/p>\n
This day for you and you alone<\/p>\n
whate ‘er the cost or peril<\/p>\n
we’ll dedicate, and earth and sky<\/p>\n
will sing to us of Cheryl.<\/p>\n
The dawn will whisper morning bliss<\/p>\n
in music sentimental<\/p>\n
we’ll feel your touching presence there<\/p>\n
fresh as a breeze, and gentle.<\/p>\n
Your face in bloom, your eyes, your smile,<\/p>\n
your fascinating dimple<\/p>\n
makes virgin flush of morning sky<\/p>\n
look plain and drab and simple.<\/p>\n
We’ll see your smile light up the sky<\/p>\n
when sun-kissed clouds awaken<\/p>\n
hill and valley, every leaf<\/p>\n
that breath of wind has shaken.<\/p>\n
While mountain stream and water-fall<\/p>\n
and bulbul, thrush and lark will<\/p>\n
sing in praise of twinkling eyes<\/p>\n
rare jewels full of sparkle.<\/p>\n
Yes, every mountain bird will join –<\/p>\n
( stan says they’ll do it for us)<\/p>\n
in polyphonic harmony<\/p>\n
a swinging birthday chorus.<\/p>\n
And every stone and blade of grass<\/p>\n
and brook and wind that blows is<\/p>\n
spreading memories of you<\/p>\n
by humming, \u201cpaper roses\u201d! !<\/p>\n
We’ll see you when our coffee boils<\/p>\n
and hear each sigh you utter<\/p>\n
at breakfast we will share with you<\/p>\n
our bread and peanut butter.<\/p>\n
And when at lunch we’re munching through<\/p>\n
tomatoes and cucumber<\/p>\n
we’ll think of what you really are –<\/p>\n
a superlative number!<\/p>\n
We’ll dream of you while washing through<\/p>\n
our pots and pans and dishes<\/p>\n
the music of the plates we break<\/p>\n
will sound like birthday wishes.<\/p>\n
As setting sun and twilight hush<\/p>\n
draw screen o’er hill and valley<\/p>\n
for last celestial wish to you<\/p>\n
a million stars will sally.<\/p>\n
In case our message isn’t clear<\/p>\n
before we bid adieu,<\/p>\n
from Alex, Stan and Terry here –<\/p>\n
A HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!<\/p>\n
( We know our greetings stray a bit<\/p>\n
from those that are so formal<\/p>\n
excuse our crazy mood today –<\/p>\n
tomorrow we’ll be normal !)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
