Birthdays

DEN RUSSELL 80 On April 5th an Octogenarian then will be I'm sure I won't, I feel too young says he, His two very old sisters say - Just join the club As all three toddle off to the nearest pub. Forget the sticks and zimmers too, 'Cos just one drinking arm will do. Your life with Eva has seen good times and bad, And some we are sure have made you feel sad, But there's one certain thought that Hazel and Aud share, We both love you lots and really do care. May you enjoy not just your big day, But we wish that good health and happiness stay. Happy returns Little Bruv.
