GRANDMA'S BIRTHDAY

To-day is grandmas birthday.
My mother told me so.
She told me all about it.
And that is how | know.
For grandma is not with us,
She's many miles away;
But l can celebrate, all right,
For mother said may.
I've opened up my bakehouse.
Out in the old mud pile,
And l will bake the beaufullest cake
You've seen in a long while.
I'll bake it in the sunlight,
Til il is golden brown,
And ice il with some thick, white
sand.
That's lying all around.
Then I will stick some candles.
Most seventy, 1 guess,
All over all the top if it
And then-you know the rest:
I'll sing "A happy birthday.
oh. Grandma, dear, to you"
And though she's many miles away,
1 bleive she'll know, don't you?
