Happy birthday to you
You haggard old hand
You've age like a goose egg

of color and blight
Where together your sharing
what love is to sight

And we wish you your birthday

BODY TALK
~~~~~~~

Suck thumb
Act dumb

Wide eyes
Look wise

Wise friend
Old hand

She lied
Hands tied

So cheap
Skin deep

Big nose
Smells rose

Sad pup
Chin up

Nice pair
Eyes stare

Felt heat
Cold feet

No buts
Have guts

Learn part
By heart

Young bride
Tongue-tied

No gown
Hair down

Like spout
Lips pout
