PARTEE

I was hoping you would join me
To celebrate turning sixty-three
On Steve Brown' deck, under the Eucalyptus tree

Sunday, June 25th, you see
Lets begin about 1pm, if you're free
And by 8pm we shall flee

Come to Pacifica, by the sea
547 Paloma is the address, see
And if you could, please RSVP
Use your phone or telegraph key
415-566-5345 to contact me

To eat, we'll have 5 bean chilee
And we'll have cornbread to accompanee
You can bring something to drink, and if you'll agree
We can cut the cake, my favorite entree

So if your out to get an advanced degree
Or trying to improve your pedigree
Or like me almost a retiree
Don't be an absentee
I want your RSVP to express "oui"

So this year's rhyme is making you snore
Then I will quit and write no more
No sugaree
Nor bourgeoisie
So you might love me when I'm sixty-four
