(88) Happy Birthday Mister Snail

Written in Down Patrick this week.

Happy birthday Mister Snail
They baked you a lettuce cake
There are cards in the mail
Being delivered by Marty Snake

So many friends, just like Marty
Henry Dormouse and Daisy Butterfly
George Hedgehog is throwing a party
And everybody will be coming by

Music played by the Glitter Bug
Songs sung by Florence Nightingale
Thomas Ant with a friendly hug
All coming for you, Mister Snail

Bertie Spider will be dancing proud
Linda Ladybird gives you a smile
Larry Caterpillar entertains the crowd
Maureen Dragonfly arrives in style

Paddy Moth is sending his love
Robbie Robin is popping in
Flowers are sent by Ruby Dove
Little Lulu Dog is ready to begin

Now the party is going full swing
Everyone is arriving without fail
Birthday greetings everybody will sing
All are singing, happy birthday Mister Snail

What a delightful piece! It carries the weight of a very upbeat spirit...hard to anchor down. I was very entertained as you mentioned all the qualities of the different insects and animals.

This just brightened my day! Thank you my friend:)
