An Ode To My Sister, On The Occasion Of Her Birthday, Which Was Yesterday
[to the tune of "Pour, oh pour the pirate sherry" from The Pirates of Penzance]
Now your birthday's finally fêted,
Hope your birthday was a blast
Sorry wishes are belated
Sorry that your birthday's passed.
I remembered two days prior
Months before, remembered too
On your birthday I was tired
So I didn't blog for you.
Chorus:
Let this be your filled-with-mirth-day!
Since I have forgot your birthday.
Hope that you are not enragèd
By this transgression of mine
Four and twenty, now you're agèd
Have a happy valentine's.
Sister, here's your birthday songy
Sorry I'm a scurvy knave.
Hope that you won't take this wrongly,
Of all my sisters, you're my fave.

I actually clicked the link and listened to the MIDI tune so that I could get the real feel for this, and that was surprisingly fun!
And then for some reason didn't notice the arm in the picture, and laughed when I discovered it.
I am so easily amused.
Birthday felicitations to your sis!

Ooh, ooh, post that picture!
Happy birthday, Becky! That is quite an impressive song.
