It can’t be said cus I’ve lost my head forgotten more than we’ll ever know when the big package arrived for 

Little Dink 

simply wasn’t enough time to even think wrapped in yellow gold with bright purple bow 

looked more than 173 years old for I knew it must be as today’s 

the day of Little Dink’s birthday 

so there we all sat along the floor 

full of presents galore 

counted more than a whopping 104!

and right in the middle an 

old  yellow and gold package 

so when Little Dink awoke to a grand hurrah 

then suddenly came a great hush 

no one dare speak not even me 

for seeing the big package 

Little Dink softly spoke 

“from great-granny when I was 3”

how strange this tale is but it’s not 

over yet 

for suddenly the box sprang 

open and there we met 

Little Dink’s great-granny age 173

you’ll say this can’t be but it is 

cus they’re both very old trees!
