Happy Birthday Beth
from friends here at DuPage
and from me on your special day.
I must say, you don’t look your age!

I hear you were cheerleader
with that Mary Hart.
Moves like that can give one gas
and they make me start

to think of how far you have come from that.
From shaking pom poms in South Dakota
to college… to college and med school in Minnesota
yet you do not boast-a.

Oh, please, you must congratulate yourself
for living life so well.
You’ve been married forty years.

Marathons! Marathons!
Twenty-four completed.
Do you swim? Yes, you must,
How else would all your family

Serve in the Navy?
From missions neurosurgical to submarines,
and from the sea to shining sea?

God bless you, dear Beth,
and all your family.
May good health, and prosperity
happiness come to you, these three.

Happy birthday, dear Beth
from all gathered here.
Madama Butterball
sings to give to you
Happy Birthday!
