Liz's 90th Birthday
There’s not a one quite like her
She really is a whizz
A pocket Norfolk dynamo
We simply know as Liz
From Tesco down to Sainsbury
She’s always on her feet
Her home it is immaculate
Her garden is a treat
She’s friendly and she’s feisty
Prepared to speak her mind
Up to date with all the news
She’s caring and she’s kind
She might enjoy a soirée
But she’s not la-di-da
Clutching her disabled pass
She’ll head off in a car
She’ll navigate to Walberswick
To find a decent pub
And stop for tea along the way
Our Liz she likes her grub
At dead of night she’ll scour her house
In case there is a rat
From attic down to cellar
Now who would fancy that?
She’ll tackle every challenge
Even a digi box
She’ll join a march against a war
Our Liz she really rocks
A true bionic lady
You’d even call her hip
She crosses the Atlantic
To see Shu Ching and Pip
She’s going strong at ninety
What more is there to say
Unique in every aspect
That’s very, very vrai.
