Miss Vivian, Our Precious Girl

Miss Vivian, our precious girl, On this, your special day, Your Mimi and your Big Daddy Just have one thing to say: Oh, happy day, sweet little one, We hope it’s a delight, And that you get a piece of cake When you get home tonight! Your grandpa’s going back to work, Retirement’s just too hard, I think that I’ll go head to head With Hallmark greeting cards. Apparently, there’s cash to make By crafting sappy drool; Sarcastic birthday wishes may Not sell, but they sure rule! So try not to catch COVID, dear, At daycare, while you play, We’re kind of short on flyer miles, And won’t be there today. We’ll settle for a Facetime call, Not one we’d want to miss, So we can give a virtual Sweet, Happy Birthday kiss! ---------- A birthday card inscription for Vivian, must have been last year. Posting to join my collection at the soup...
