So looking back over past sixty years,
I wonder what’s changed beside leather and furs?
Now there are cars where once there were trams -
Oncere there were pigs where now there are hams,
Once there were birds to wake us from sleep
Where now mobile phones so constantly beep.
Once there were eyebrows where now there is skin
And much fine crockery now in the bin,
Two became three and quite soon were four,
While five and six soon knocked at the door.
Once there were meatballs and once lemon bomb,
Enough food for armies served with aplomb.
But always she’s loving, patient and kind,
Ready to hear you unburden your mind,
Gen’rally happy and unfailingly sweet,
Always she’s thoughtful, pretty and neat.
So let’s raise our glasses to many more days,
And may the Lord bless her in all of her ways.
