Oh Chairman my Chairman
Your birthday came fast this year
I didn’t heed your message
To get a plane seat I fear.
588 people beat me on the list
I read these words and cried.
This was my hear to join you
I had put my travel plans aside.
Then I saw the special message
I could fly on our President’s plane,
I thought of our country’s debts
And really couldn’t spend Obama’s change.
So instead of a trip to Italy
To be a part of the celebration,
I’ll tell 6000 Allure passengers
To raise a glass to you on this occasion.
84 is really a great number,
But 85 is much better.
So I hope next year to say
Happy Birthday in person not in a letter.
Happy Birthday
Marion
