PADI

© - Tom Hyland - 05-05-09


“Paddy-Cake - Paddy-Cake -
Baker Man - Bake me a Cake -
Fast as you Can!”


Yep - Ye Olde Nursery Rhyme!
Put in some Berries - Leave out the Thyme!
Padi Abbassian - Hails from Iran!


It was May 29th, of Eighty-Two -
When Padi Emerged - with Yelps - Quite a Few!
‘Til Age Three - in Iran - she Grew!


Coming to A- MeR -I - Ca !
A Land - Oh So Grand -
Give us your Many - Give us your Few!


Think Becky met her - One day at School -
They Hit it Off - Both Real Cool!
Each was the other’s Fan!


Just like a Puppy - Becky Brought her Home -
Said: “Mom - Can we Keep Her?”
No Longer will She Roam!


“Lem’me Think on it” - said Bernadette -
Shortly After - OK - No Sweat!
So - Padi moved in - A New Home to Set!


Once - only Ed n’ Becky - Now there were Three -
Bernie had her Hands Full - Yes-Sir-Ee!
Ed was Out-Numbered - Just Wait n’ See!


Three Women now - with which to Contend -
Fights O’er the Bathroom - would they Ever End?
Girlie This - n’ Girlie That - How Could he Fend?


Reminds me of the old Movie - Cheaper By The Dozen -
Things all A-Scramble - Certainly Buzzin’ -
Schedules to Plan - Plans to Keep - Oh Lord - Please - Let me Sleep!


Sometimes things were Quiet n’ Calm -
Other-times tho’ - Mom used some Balm!
Especially When - Ed lacked Aplomb!


By and By - They All Got Along -
Smiled - Laughed - and Sang a Song!
Hey Ed - did Mom ever - Discover your Bong?


Well - Padi did This - n’ Padi did That -
Onct - brought home a Stray - a lil Black Cat!
Welcome to the Menagerie - Here is Where It’s At!


Padi’s done various jobs - mostly for Vets -
Learnin’ n’ Fixin’ - n’ Pampering Pets!
If it’s Fuzzy or Furry - Off are All Bets!

Somewhere along - this thing we call Life -
Padi met Tim Bauer - who Made Her His Wife!
Like All Other Couples - Thus Began - New Strife!


June 17th, of Two-Thousand Five - They did get Hitched -
A Beautiful Ceremony at The Cloister -
Padi was Tim’s - Pearl in the Oyster!

It was a Day - I’ll not soon Forget -
Many Teary-Eyed - n’ - Faces Wet!
We all - Ate n’ Danced - n’ - Worked up a Sweat!


Oh - Tim’s Okay - if’n you like Irish Micks -
He works with Critters Too - Gettin’ Bites n’ Licks!
They all live Together now - Way Out in the Sticks!


A Brown-Haired Brown-Eyed Beauty - you Cannot Deny -
When she’s up - she’s UP - Spritely n’ Spry!
But - when she’s DOWN - My - Oh My - Oh My!


So - Padi Dear - Now is Twenty-Seven -
Hope you Stick Around ‘Til -
At Least - Leventy-Leven!
