To my dearest Mama
On her birthday
_________
1
My dear mama I hope you are well to day
That you may be able to join with us in play
And if you will give us some plumcake
You may be sure we will not refuse to take
2
Now up from the breakfast table let us rise
And go and make for you some apple pies
Then at dinner let us take a seat
With an excellent appetite to eat
_________
I wish you many happy returns of your birthday.
Your affecte
Storm
