"It makes me think of the good ol' days--
Happy Birthday to you!!
You sure grew out of your baby ways--
Happy Birthday to you!!!!
It's Rita's birthday; we wish her MANY more--
Health, and wealth, and friends by the score(or friends-even more?)
Tune up a banjo, let's sing lots more--
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!"

Of course, no one will confuse Bill's "reserve" with shyness. How fortunate Rita found support for her warmth and kindness with someone who simply has another mode of expressing his. So many ways for unity to manifest itself.
While we all wish you well, Rita darlin', it's really ourselves we're helping. We recognize how much better our lives are for your presence in them.
More cake here--and something bubbly to wash it down with.    Tw
