Today is A.'s birthday! Hooray! That means it's time to honor The Woodchuck Man in song! Hooray!
I've been doing this for a LOT of years now. Thirteen years, to be precise. I guess I used to be better at it, because I used to write multiple verses. Now I consider it an accomplishment to come up with just one lame verse.
A. does a lot more than the couple of things highlighted in this admittedly somewhat lame song, obviously. But a tradition is a tradition, so here is the one verse for this year's celebration.
(To the tune of "The Candyman Can")
Then built them back himself?
Who can get an old truck running
With some parts off the shelf?
The woodchuck man
The woodchuck man can
The woodchuck man can
'Cause he uses what he has and makes it work for him
Happiest of birthdays to A., whose woodchucky ways have served us well for so many years.
I sing my husband's birthday song with home made verses to the Pirates of Penzance song "I am the very model of a modern Major General," only the words I use are "I am the very model of a modern pain in general." Over 30 years now and he still laughs at my stupid humor. If he were really a pain I would not do it, but he is a saint so I feel comfortable making gentle fun of him this way. Glad to see I am not the only singer of home made songs.
