1951

Christmas as usual brings more joys:
To the children, grandchildren, mother and me.
Christmas as usual we expected more boys;
But not a single boy for our family tree.

Jack and Jean expected a boy too;
And all preparations begin.
But the stork changed the order before he flew;
And brought them Sandra Lynn.

And when it rains it pours they say;
It goes on and on, no end.
More gifts to buy, more bills to pay;
And girls and more girls the trend.

It was September 24th this very year;
When Bill to the bedside ran.
And Juanita said, "Look, here my dear".
It's Red haired Julie Ann.

It was October the 5th this very year;
When Monty to the bedside ran.
And Betty said, "Look, here my dear".
Another Red Head! Cynthia Louanne.

This Christmas Brings girls to the Matthews clan;
First Greetings to Sandra Lynn.
And Greetings to the Red Haired Julie Ann;
And the youngest redhead, Cynthia Louanne.

Another redhead! Cynthia Louanne.
