An Ode to Mum By:  Sharada and Lakshmi Mahalingam A success at your job You're jolly smart Generous, you buy stuff for us; You're so kind at heart. Never bitter, never angry You are sugary sweet. Outings with you Are invariably such a treat. A person so awesome We will never meet. Forever helpful with speeches and essays, You are too damn bright. Your cakes, like you, are such a delight. You're attractive, cute and charming And lovely are the bhajans you sing. You are fine like Bordeaux wine And you bring to our lives warm sunshine. You create many a Wee Wonder Without making a single blunder. Coping with so much Makes you admirable, And this shows you are capable (as well as copable!) You are never-ending fun, You are the one, The one and only Mum for us. You add to our day some spice By being ever so nice And now we wanna give u a surprise HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! WE LOVE YOU!
