Happy Birthday Patty
with love from family.
Five kiddies and seven grandkiddies:
Wow! You are life of the party!
So you like to entertain,
cook and clean the house.
I’d like to be fly on wall
or a little wee mouse.
I’ve heard you are like a Julia Child
or Martha Stewart – please don’t go to jail.
Trust not the insider information
you get from boyfriend.
Would not be happy end.
Now onto happy things like Operathon.
Thank you for being a great sport
and lending Lyric your support.
What is this? What is this?
You panhandle in winter?!?
My mistake! My mistake!
You spend the winter in Florida.
Ah, Santa Rosa.
What a place to spend life in the sun
when on the run
from winter’s cold.
It sounds like fun.
Oh, please, dear Patty, take me with you.
Madama Butterball hears you are nice gal.
Winter in Chicago I cannot do.
C’mon Patty will you be a pal?
Anyway I’m off point smelling barbeque.
Happy Birthday dear Patty
from all of us to you.
Happy Birthday!
Rose, thanks so much for your tribute to my mom on Sunday. She loved it! When I mentioned your name later, she exclaimed, "Rose Guccione! I wish I had known it was Rose Guccione! I've heard her sing at the Western Springs Theater. She is terrific … blah, blah, blah." You gave everyone an indelible memory of this event, and I look forward to the video. Thanks again, Marianne
