Happy Birthday Eli!


Allow me to tell you about a young man I know
Do not be mistaken, he is no average Joe
His name is Eli Moss, and he’s pretty hard to miss
Except when he is sleeping or giving his mom a kiss

He snuck into the world while I was on its other side
Here’s a picture of my nephew Eli, I would tell the Germans with pride
We’ve never lived in the same zip code… or even shared a time zone
But when we get together its as fun a time as I’ve known

Yes Eli is the kind a guy you want to get to know
He can help you out, or explain the facts, or even put on a show
He’s one of the oldest grand-kids and wears the honor well
You’ll find its hard to disregard what Eli’s trying to sell

Its Eli David’s birthday and I’ll bet he’s on cloud nine
But wait a moment, he’s on Cloud ELEVEN! And that’s a totally different kind!
So Happy Birthday Eli, Were thinking of just you!
Cant wait to see you very soon, and the rest of your family too!
