My Sister's Nineteenth Birthday

Happy nineteenth birthday.
You're one year older now.
I know what you want for dinner.
Is it macaroni salad and a cow? (hamburger)

My big sister is almost through
Her seven teenage years.
If you were to celebrate,
I think you would say, "Cheers!"

I know you have a boyfriend,
From work, or so I'm told.
I hope you will be happy til the end,
Or at least til you're both old.

So, once more, I want to say
To my big sister, "Happy Birthday!"
