Time For A Pull

Ladies and Gentlemen, can I have your attention please? Because every now and then in life, there?s opportunity you should seize. And that moment is upon us, because we?ve some important words to be say, as 50 years ago Doc Fox was born, 50 years and 62 days, Eddie had his birth-day. Actually, the reason we?re a couple of months late, (and this is something Eddie deals with all of the time) is because Robin couldn?t make a decision, (but she still gets his words to rhyme.) Actually, Eddie is our very special close friend, and we?ve watched our children grow together, a friendship that was formed so long ago, and one that is destined to last forever. We?ve shared so many memorable times, most wonderful, most good, most happy, but some sad, but most have brought so much joy and laughter in truth, they?re the best times we?ve ever had. Now as you know Eddie is a dentist, so he?s seen things pulled once or twice, so I?m sure he won?t mind a bit of leg pulling, there's never been a bald, toothful dentist even half as nice. I?d like to say Eddie is a great cook, because I know he can take a good joke, so I won?t mention his black and pink chicken, and that he barbeques with goggles on (because of the smoke) We also remember the vacation to Puerto Rico, and he spotted a bargain, no surprise, he bought two pairs of shoes because they were cheap, he didn?t really worry about the size. They say he?s very handy about the house, as long as it?s dental tools that the job requires, and he?s been known to occasionally run late, some would say he?s always putting out fires. Eddie calls Howie for his legal advice, (there?s no charge, he gets it for a steal) and even though they?re very health conscious, it?s been said they?ll never miss out on a meal. And a Porsche convertible is no mid-life crisis, It?s just what happens when you get the gerds and now Samayed gets the run of the house, and I wonder who gets to pick up the turds? And sadly, the Concorde is no longer flying, but we still got to sit in an aisle seat, and like so many of our shared experiences, that was memorable, and just so hard to beat. We?ve watched our kids go through their stages, and now they?re walking out onto the stage of life, and we?d like to finish by raising a toast, so here?s to Robin, your long suffering wife. But seriously, happy birthday Eddie, that?s really what these words are for, you are truly a wonderful person, our special friend, and here?s to that friendship lasting for evermore.
