My birthday was last week And this is how I celebrated musically. With an attempt at 'poetry':
Last week, to celebrate my happy birthday
we drove to West Palm, stopped at the VA
To the hospital, in the nursing home
where the wheelchair bound vets, live and roam
No talk about money, we didn't take any
but our rewards, were good and plenty
We played for an hour, then a little more
for the gentlemen, crowding the floor
They clapped, and laughed, some had tears in their eyes
and when it was done, we met some great guys
This is the second time, we volunteered here
and they've invited us back, to do it next year
The Stuart Elks made all, the arrangements for us
we had all the fun, they did all the fuss
To all the vets, who served yesterday
we're happy to have helped, brighten your day
It was great, and the warm reception from the vets was a great birthday present for me.
