‘Twas just a mere Fifty-Nine Years Ago -
The Stork Delivered Her - Don’cha Know!
Rose n’ Wimpy were All Aglow!
Connie The Elder - was Already - In Toto!
Three Gals n’ a Guy - Hailed as Wengert -
That’s the Lowdown - or Info - or Dirt!
Pretty in Pink - Lookin’ - Oh So - Pert!
Anyways - Back Then - She Once Was a Squirt!
But, Things Change - as they Often Do -
And along Came James - Not Bond!
And Then More Niven’s Grew!
Rosie n’ Debbie - n’ Jimmy Too!
‘Twas up in Joisey - in Rainbow Lakes -
Bernie took a Dive - n’ Hit her Noggin -
Oh - For Heaven’s-Sakes -
Still Alive - Thank God - Now Still Bloggin’!
In Time - Back to Ole Bawlmer - They All Came -
And Bernie was a Pinky - her Claim to Fame!
Dental Assistant - No Pain to Blame -
She was a Delightful - Dainty Dame!
Whether it was Florence Nightingale or Clara Barton -
A Thought in her head was Surely Startin’ -
She Up and Decided - to Become a Nurse!
Surely a Boon to Mankind - Maybe Bernie’s Curse?
So - Bernie n’ her Trusty Steed -
A Volkswagen Named George -
Headed Way Out West -
A New Life to Forge!
Out to Utah - The Great Salt Lake -
Nursing School - n’ Friend Liz - ‘Twould be their Stake!
Oh - There’s more Stories - ‘bout her n’ George -
But - She can Tell ‘em - if’n she gets the Urge!
Don’t know the Whys n’ Wherefores n’ When’s -
But Eventually she was Edjumacated n’ Graduated -
With Honors - I Think -
Pretty In White - n’ - Pretty in Pink!
Sometimes Now - she’s also Pretty Blue -
But - That’s Another Story -
Right Now - we’re Hittin’ the Highlights -
Hopefully - the Woes n’ Lows are finally Through!
L.P.N. - Then - Registered Nurse!
Look-Out World! Disease has Met its Curse!
Wrappin’ Wounds - Dumpin’ Bed-Pans -
Givin’ Bad News - n’ - Holdin’ Tremblin’ Hands!
Emergency Rooms - Administrator - Triage Nurse -
Not Unlike an Angel from Above -
Always She Did Disburse -
With - Warmth - Caring - Courtesy - n’ Love!
From Skinned-Up Knees - to the Terminally Ill -
Bernie has Bestowed Affection - as Always She Will!
With Drugs n’ Medications - she is Proficient -
And Sometimes Knows the Chemical Co-efficient!
More Oft’ than not - Life has been a Struggle -
But - she Muddles Through - each Bursting Bubble!
The Hippocratic Oath - Doth She Hold Dear -
Saved Many a Life - and Did it - With Cheer!
Pleasant n’ Charming n’ a Real Good Hostess -
Bernie - my Niece - is Always The Mostest!
Through the Years - Trials n’ Tribulations -
She’s Earned Many Kudos - n’ Oblations!
Sure n’ she got Married - Two Sore Spots!
But - from the First - she Got Two Tots!
Ed and Becky - are Her ‘Cat’s Meows’ -
Raised ‘Em Real Good - Take Some Bows!
Took in a Teenager - Name of Padi -
Raised her Too - The Three - Drove Her Batty!
Three Teenagers - All at Once -
No - No - Not Me! - ‘Cause I’m a Dunce!
The Last Few Years have been a Bitch!
Sometimes A’twitter - sometimes A’twitch!
But Whether She is - ‘Twixt or ‘Tween -
She’s Normally Regal - and Very Keen!
So - Happy, Happy Birthday - Doll!
Have a Shot - Smile Awhile!
The ‘Kicks’ may be at Route Sixty-Six -
But Many ‘Sickies’ Survived - ‘Cause YOU - Did Fix!
