"Ode to the Royal Flush" (Part 3)

ODE TO THE ROYAL FLUSH

 

When five FOE’s (Fans of Elletu) put their heads together,

It was like five birds of a feather

Who knew your 60^th birthday was a cause for celebration,

And we wanted you to be filled with elation.

So many weeks ago we put on our thinking caps,

And came up with an idea that reduced us to claps.

“We should treat my Mom like a celeb!”

Was lovingly mentioned by Deb.

“Something for her ‘OFFICE’ would be fine and dandy,”

Was a tongue-in-cheek comment that came from Sandy.

While j PIPED up, “Here’s something that we ought

To do, put our money in one POT!”

“Let’s BOWL her over with something grand!”

Spoke up Cool, who added, “And

Make her eyes RIM with stunned tears,

But I don’t mean like crying in her beers.”

Firstelle asked, “What do you all think she wants most?”

It was unanimous, and to our decision we did toast.

On our excitement we had to work hard to keep a LID,

And then Deb told us something that you went and did.

A day before our purchase came a text from her in panic—

“OK, Emergency! She already bought one!” and we were all manic!

But soon we all calmed down, and in time we took a vote,

And the decision we made is right here in this note.

To our dear friend (and Mom), Elletu, we will always be loyal,

And we want you to always feel that you are truly a Royal.

So our theme for your birthday gift is, aptly, ‘Royal FLUSH’

Now open the first gift and you’ll find something that is plush.

Now the second gift---and this is something no one ever swipes---

Here is container of disinfectant WIPES!

Now the third gift---and of course it will be useful, we bet--

It’s a brand new TOILET BOWL cleaning set!

This would be nice in itself, but here’s something keener,

Gift Number 4 is a container of TOILET BOWL cleaner!

So those are your gifts---do you think they’re kind of blah?

Well, there’s more, because we pooled our ‘MOO-lah!’

Are you getting curious now? Well, don’t have a COW,

Because we are going to give you your birthday gift now.

We know you bought one yourself, but all is not lost,

For your chair-height TOILET, we want to COVER the cost!

 

HAPPY 60^th with love from Cool, Deb, j, Firstelle and Sandy

 

**************

Note: Regarding the 'moo' and 'cow' reference, Elletu's old toilet made this weird mooing sound every time she would flush it. Glad to hear the new one doesn't do that, because Elletu was getting UTTERLY annoyed. But just in case she gets to missing the mooing, Cool sent away for a cow with a motion sensor for Elletu's bathroom. No further explanation needed.
