To Sarah and Rachel

Now this lady said - nothing rhymes with SARAH
She should be banished to the Sahara!And then there is that old-time movie vamp Theda Bara-
It that is not enough, how about Scarlett O'Hara
who lived down south in a mansion called Tara.
So you see, dear Sarah, nothing from the truth could be fara!

Therefore I am sending ou this rhyme today
to show that there is many a way to say:
We are thinking of you, Belle and me
"happy Birthday" whenever that may be.

But with Rachel it's another matter, alright.
I've been awake so many a night.
Noting rhymes with Rachel that I can find!
Believe me, I am really in a bind!
So i hope Rachel won't give me dirty looks-
I've scanned the dictionary and the books!
When I next see her in my green back yard
I will tell here tI tried ever so hard.

Now without a rhyme we let you know today
that you tooare thought of in many a way.
You are our grandchild, that is so true
Happy Birthday, whenever it is due!
