Happy Birthday Charlie! Poem by Marilyn Lott

Happy Birthday Charlie!
Your friends have gathered ‘round
We’ve planned a party just for you
With your poster in the background

What a delightful boy you are
You grow more special every day
You’ve learned so many joyful tricks
Let’s have the party without delay

Everyone is excited and panting
Oh look, Charlie, Buffy’s here
Merlin is wagging his tail as well
They’ve come to bring birthday cheer

We must take pictures now you know
First Charlie with his handsome master
Then we’ll snap your delightful friends
And keep the pictures forever after

Are you ready now to cut the cake?
Please try to remember your etiquette
No biting, snapping or slobbering
Or a scolding you will surely get

So everyone please take your places
You’ve all been so very charming
What a special day this has been
Happy Birthday Charlie!
