Dear Diane

Congratulations on your special day

You don’t look three score and ten, no way

Seeing you again was a special treat

We need many more happy reasons to meet

Enjoying fine ice cream we formed a bond

We’ll treasure the memory of St. Armand

Keep up with your beading, may it bring you success!

Here’s to your health and happiness

The planet’s in financial meltdown
A pandemic’s galloping on
Woolworth closed its doors
And now the King of Pop is gone

A heartfelt thanks to our fabulous folks
Of whom we’re incredibly proud
Let’s raise a glass in celebration
You’re an awesome crowd

When I got my diagnosis

I barely could cope

But with you as my doctor

I slowly gained hope

You have all the knowledge

This illness demands

I’m lucky to be

In your capable hands

You expertly chose

What to give me and when

But I never would want

To go through it again

What a nightmare it’s been

For a woman alone

And each time I’ve called you

You answered the phone

Not once have you rushed me

You wait patiently

You couldn’t treat me better

If I was royalty

You have such compassion

More than your share

There’s not an M.D.

Like you anywhere

I’m not a spring chicken

I’ve know doctors galore

But there’s not another

Who gives his patients more

What brilliance it takes

To get where you’ve gotten

Yet you have such humility

You aren’t spoiled rotten

Thank you sounds trite

But what more can I say

You’re my hero and I wish you

The best, come what may

Dear Millie,

We’re gathered here to honor Millie

On her special day

She means the world to each of us

And there’s a bit we’d like to say

She’s our very favorite Aunt

We bonded from the start

The warmest, most fun-loving friend

With a great big generous heart

There’s nobody quite like her

She’s a sport beyond compare

She loves to be where the action is

And she’ll travel anywhere

A gathering at Millie’s house

Is a very special treat

She’s the hostess with the mostest

Serving yummy things to eat

Her place is always spotless

You could eat right off the floor

She makes you feel like royalty

From the moment you walk through the door

We’ve never heard her fret

About the hand that she was dealt

She just picked up the pieces

And went out to earn the gelt

Her girls are her priority

Always number one

Jan and Betty both reflect

The awesome job she’s done

Along the way with her good looks

She’s turned a lot of heads

But Millie liked her freedom

And decided not to wed

Although just like the rest of us

She came from Adam’s rib

There’s just no doubt about it

Millie started women’s lib

Still she ached to be a grandma

And it happened kind of late

But there’s no other kid like Ian

He was worth the wait

Now Millie is our matriarch

Though she doesn’t look her age

Always groomed impeccably

Like she stepped off a fashion page

What a mentor she has been

So strong and self-reliant

No wonder Millie is the woman

Whom we most admire

We wish you all the very best

May your cares be left behind

Let’s gather here again next year

With health and peace of mind

To Sally,

I can’t get over  our rapport

And how this friendship’s grown

I feel so close to you

Like you’re a friend I’ve always known

You’re just the dearest, kindest, warmest

Most considerate gal I know

It’s surely no surprise

That everybody loves you so

Your sense of humor can’t be beat

I laugh ’til I could cry

We’re such a combination

Everyone must think we’re high!

And each vacation that we’ve shared

Has been the greatest kick

If ever I was shipwrecked

You’re the one friend I’d pick

To someone who’s observant

We seem klutzy, I suppose

But when we won the tournament

We sure came off like pros

One thing  I so admire

Is a girl who really sews

The fashions you create

Speak for your flawless taste in clothes

And what a super mother

Meg and Dora will attest

And as devoted wives go

Richard knows he’s got the best

You’re very conscientious

About everything you do

But once you took a trip

Forgetting Richard’s clothes, it’s true

What boundless energy you have

Your stamina’s first rate

So busy yet you find the time

To work in real estate

I’m luckier than anyone

To have a friend like you

Here’s to your health and happiness

You deserve the moon, you do!

A wealthy old Sheik from Dubai

Suggested we give love a try

He was in hot pursuit

Then turned into a brute

So a matchmaker I will now try

I fell for a big horse’s arse

Who found my dowry too sparse

He looked down his nose

At my hand-me-down clothes

The dating game sure is a farce

At least fifteen doctors
Said there was no hope
I was stuck with my pain
So I’d best learn to cope

Then a very good friend
Who sensed my defeat
Said there was a doctor
I had to meet

So off with my ice packs
And ultra-sound heater
I jumped in a cab
And met YOU, Doctor Reader

At first when I saw
What you’d shove up my nose
I wanted to run
But with fear I just froze

Yet you reassured me
And swore I’d survive
Thought I had my doubts
Id be leaving alive

Don’t know how you stand us
Your strength never wavers
We moan and complain
And then ask you for favors

You never give up
On our mean aches and pains
And the way we show up
Every time that it rains

Your treatment has brought us
Relief beyond measure
But your friendship and warmth
Is what we really treasure

When I’m totally cured
Will I tell you, Sir?  Never!
I want to continue
To come back forever!

Today’s your birthday, Eddie
And we’d love to jump on the bus
To give you a hug and a pwesent

We’re proud as we can be of you
Enjoyed you through every stage

With more wisdom than those twice your age

With smiles from ear to ear
