Oh! Aunt Verna turns 90 today,<br />My! Oh! My! What present to buy?<br />I could buy her a potato peeler, <br />But she does not like to cook.<br />I could buy her a rake,<br />But she is not much into gardening.<br />Maybe I could give her a personal shopper, <br />Oh, No, she is the shopping queen.<br />Maybe I could get her a pair of shoes,<br />But she has enough shoes to stock her own shoe store.<br />Maybe a personal trainer,<br />But he would have to be 6'3 and 26 to meet her specs.<br />Maybe I could rent a guy for the day,<br />But it would be hard to match her other 3 special guys.<br />My Oh My, I do not know what to do,<br />What do you give an aunt who has everything and<br />goes and buys it if she doesn't.<br /><br />I know what to get her! <br />She has given us 90 special years marked by laughter, <br />Zest for life, playfulness, love of family, loyalty, <br />and a drive to excellence.<br />So, Verna as you open my package to you, <br />count every one of the 90 ways you are special to me.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948553013206247354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435542545096646350.post-43710692189481749832010-01-09T19:11:29.278-08:002010-01-09T19:11:29.278-08:00Happy Birthday to my Aunt Verna from SueHappy Birthday to my Aunt Verna from SueAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903077191319145477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-435542545096646350.post-42865803693413488172010-01-04T07:18:57.888-08:002010-01-04T07:18:57.888-08:00What a great story.
