Susie is 60 by Zoe Wheatley

Susie is 60 - what can we say?
I know!!... HIP, HIP HORRAY!!
Getting older must be ALL the rage
Because so many I know are adding to their age.

Keep on adding, catch up to me
I'll stay the same - YOU keep adding - That's the way it should be.

60 is a depressing birthday to some
But it's only a number, don't be dumb.
Susie looks great (for her age)
Can still wear shorts to show off her legs.

She's a "hot mama" driving her Mustang car
Top down, sunglasses, blond hair - Lloyd, don't let her go far.

She loves to have fun - the party girl
She's the only one I know who kept
Her bathing suit and towel in the trunk
Just in case someone had a hot tub
And wanted to go for a whirl.

She can dance by herself and still have her fun,
And we can have fun watching - we've done that some.
I told you - she's a party girl -
Sometimes has a drink or two
Then gets on the phone (late at night)
To call who knows who.

If your phone rings late at night -
Don't answer - it's HER!
Sometimes with Caralin or Lynda
To spread her good cheer.

She's a great friend - we love her so
She lightens our life more than she knows.

When we went to Reno,
We went out to dinner and had a blast - Giggling and laughing like
"young" schoolgirls Remembering things we've done in the past.

Got a little worried the next day tho
She didn't remember going to dinner so.
She was sober - not too much to drink
Maybe her age - memory going? What do you think?

That happens when you turn 60
Sometimes even at 50.
We all hope you have many more birthdays 60, 65, 70, 75, 80
You'll still look great and still be the life of the party!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear friend
From all of us who love you. Hope you were surprised!
