Ode to Dad

Happy Birthday Dad
You're no passing fad.

He's been around
Since Whit Wyatt took the mound.

Happy Birthday Dad
You're no passing fad.

And what year was it
"Amapola" was a hit?

Happy Birthday Dad
You're no passing fad.

How many candles will his cake bear?
I don't think he wants me to share.

My Dad's birthday is Saturday.  And if you're wise, you will see he's twenty-nine and holding just fine.
