Hinda’s Birthday, We celebrate today. She’s SO serious, But she also likes to play. Now she’s an octogenarian, But not a true vegetarian. She eats some meat, but rarely a sweet, Goes swimming most every day. Hinda is a – Dancer and actress, too. Walked for miles to See a Seattle view. On stage with our hostess Becca, In Playback improvisation, They used their ima-ginations to PlayBack a story or two. Hinda’s family’s Here to celebrate. Raisa and Adam, Their children can hardly wait To fly up from California To visit their dear Grandma. Elliana is 5, Amalie 2. Grandma Hinda is happy, ’tis true. There’s Ben Louis, Hinda’s handsome son. There’s another name for him. He is the only one. Seattle’s Best Auto Mechanic, But please don’t make him panic. He won’t say “No”, He’s thorough but, oh, Don’t call him all at once. Hinda joins a Rather exclusive clan. 4 other active grans Are octogenarians. And next month 3 more will join us. We’ll give them all a chorus. For 80 is A milestone to mark, And Hinda enjoys it with you.
