Space command to Zoom
All systems are go for your message to Susan!
Hey, Susan!
It’s your birthday!
I’m in charge of the stars
And I’m here to say,
’cause Susan,
You’re the BIG STAR today!
My name is Zoom
And I live on the moon
But I came down to earth
Just to sing you this tune
Hey, Susan,
It’s your birthday today!
A present for you
I wanted to find
An outerspace creature
A one of a kind!
A wild whop or a kukelchoo,
An apple drop or a buzzardstew
Or maybe a 3-eyed tickleshay
For your birthday!
Did you ask:
“uh, what’s a kukelchoo?”
Well, up on the moon it’s nothing new
But that won’t do for you,
On your birthday!
I searched behind the clouds and stars
I even zoomed my bike to Mars
And met my friend the saucer man
And he said:
“Hey Zoom I got the bestest plan!
What your friend needs is something new,
So how about a song, just from YOU?”
And so tonight when you’re in bed
I’ll be singing to you as I zoom overhead
Singing, Susan! Happy Birthday
Singing, Susan! Happy Birthday
Singing, Susan! Happy Birthday
To you!
Happy Birthday, Susan!
See you next year!
I just couldn’t resist sharing the Captain Zoom birthday song. My parents gave me that song on 45 record for my birthday one year (yes, a 45 record, I am really THAT old…). It’s a personalized birthday song by Captain Zoom. Dave got one too, with his name instead of Susan. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, and wondered, how did they get MY name onto that record?? Aaahh, memories…
Here’s what I got from my lovely family this year.
-a laptop bag from my mom and dad
-the book Friday Night Knitting Club from my mom
-Knit Picks circular needles (size 6 [16"] and size 1 [32"]) from Markus
-Knit Picks Felici yarn in colorway Schooner (for the Jaywalker socks!) from Markus
-Starbucks gift card from Markus
What a sweet family I have! And check out this card from my brother. Sorry for the poor picture quality. I took the picture 3 times, and this is the best I could get. It says “for your birthday i ate everything in your fridge”.
I swear, Dave is the master at finding hilarious birthday cards!
