Nov 19, 1999: Email Sam and family from Fiji to Nana Happy Birthday
Dear Mommy:
Oh mommy, my mommy,
what can I say?
I love you I love you
I love you. What hey?
You washed all the dishes,
You turned out the lights.
You cleaned up my pishes
You did it all right.
Now I'm a big boy
and off on my own
with a family to clean up
the way that you've shown.
I turn out the lights
I recycle our water
I never play golf
Perhaps I oughter!
I think of you often
Of days we have shared
and then I soften
For how much you cared.
You are the best
when put to the test
you better the rest
then clean up the mess.
You turn out the lights
and wash the dishes
then serve the dessert
Love from your not very poetic middle son,
Sammy bo bammy
Happy Birthday to Nana from Caren
Happy Birthday to Nana
Who made Sammy so fine
We're having a great trip
He's really divine
Happy Birthday to Nana
Who made Sammy so smart
He's great at programming
but what about art?
Happy Birthday to Nana
Who gave Sammy to me
Sorry I took him
so far out to sea
Happy Birthday to Nana
It's good you're not here
there's too many fat people
in the Southern Hemisphere
Happy Birthday to Nana
who still looks great
I hope to look half as good
when I'm fifty eight
Happy Birthday to Nana
A good mother to me
It's great to be part
of your family
Love, Caren
Happy Birthday to Nana from Dana
Happy Birthday to Nana

and who gave me good looks

Who plays good golf and is also smart.
Happy Birthday to Nana
Who is so far away
I wish I could be there for your special day
Love and Kisses from Dana
