......The two roses and a thorn!
with a whole bunch of homemade birthday cards, Ab, Betty and Clarice's song to Dad was the card above, which reads as follows:
Billy, Billy, fix my bicycle do
Pedals broken, handlebars are askew,
The bike just rattles and shakes, it doesn't have any brakes
It's stuck in high gear, the seat hurts my rear
But it can be fixed by you
Billy, Billy turning 80 today
Congratulations is what we've come to say
Not just a bicycle fixer
You've become a VB fixture
We wish you well, keep givin' 'em hell
Have a very Happy Birthday!
Time for cake!
