Happy Birthday Ditty For Steve The Man, Mann

A happy birthday to dear Steve,

Who as usual will soon leave

To warmer, sunnier parts,

Breaking all of the hearts

Of his friends and his foes

Because everyone one of us knows

He’ll spend a three month all smiley

Leading the complete life of Riley!

A happy birthday to the Mann,

Who lives as full on as he can.

May all his travels be smooth

And copious cheap beer sooth

All the troubles in his life

(No, not his ‘trouble and strife!)

And beach, sand and sun

Make him the chosen one!

Then to Facebook we’ll turn

And for photos we’ll yearn

Of barbecues in shorts

With drinking games for sports.

And Karen only drinking wine

(Remarkably, from a beer stein!)

And Manno counting sheep

As he drifts into sleep.

So cheers to our dear chum,

Let his plumbing all be done,

And the food and beer flow

Where ever he may go.

I wish him happiness without end

As a quite extraordinary friend,

But if he thinks I’ll raise a glass

He can kiss my bloody … posterior!
