Model T owner is 89 today
Listen all and I will tell,
The story of the kitten
who fell in the well.
The well was deep
And the water cold,
the kitten did get out,
How needs to be told.
Lower the old bucket,
Down into the deep,
The kitten was crying,
And hope I did keep.
The bucket hit the water,
Beside the little cat,
She climbed aboard,
And that was that.
The bucket was raised,
She was saved this way,
The story is all true,
And it makes my day.

Re: Model T owner is 89 today
that is the wrong poem.. Here is the correct one for my 89th
Another year has rolled by
I have not been planted yet,
I am still above the cold earth;
I still take what I can get.
The candles on my cake,
Will number eighty nine,
The cake will be my favorite,
Angle food is just fine.
My presents will be okay,
For they are really free,
The don’t have to have,
A 10 year guarantee.
If you look at my smile,
I still have all my teeth,
I am still on solid ground,
And not 6 feet beneath.
People say this all the time,
You look really, really great,
I thank them for saying that,
But I am not in original state.
I still have my antique cars,
And all my marbles too,
I still can see quite well,
Hearing went to “he and double l.
I will sit back and enjoy myself,
This is a special day,
I still look forward to,
What will come my way.

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, just for you.
Happy Birthday, and may all your dreams come true.
When you light up the candles you'll touch off quote a blaze.
A fire involving that much fuel will burn for days.

Re: Model T owner is 89 today
You have accomplished a lot. You have gotten through the last year and a half! Your 10 year guarantees might be too short. You have at least 11 years to go, maybe longer!
I am still running behind you!
Have a happy birthday.

Re: Model T owner is 89 today
Happy Birthday, Darel. May you enjoy many more. I don't believe there is another name with so many spellings as yours. My father was "Daryl".

Darel:
My dad told me that a student took a compass and scribed a long gouge on the wood of Mr. Pulver's 1948 Chrysler Town and Country when it was parked in the high school lot.

Re: Model T owner is 89 today
Thanks for the "email cards" and notes. I ate to much rich food on my birthday and I suffered the results. Okay now and back at work in our store in Excelsior, Mn. Gettting ready for a TOY Show in St Paul this Sunday at the fair grounds. Will have good selections of old toys including auto related. I when was a young boy I wondered if I would live to 60 or 70. I am noiw 89 and going strong, well pretty strong.
