Paul's 50th Birthday

by Rachel, Damion & Callan

Rachel, Damion & Callan (& Alan) write:

Paul is very loud and has a habit of repeating himself(a bit like Fred Eliott from Corrie) although he won't stand any nonsense.

He is a fountain of knowledge managing to contain the most absurd info and spouting it out when required.

Always manages to win or come a close second in the pub quiz he attends every week.

Paul has no time for people who try to sell him things especially cold callers and doesn't hold back his thoughts for anyone.

Swears like a trooper.

He is a brilliant organ player (quite possibly the fastest organ player in the north-east if not the whole of England)

Paul likes a good joke and is always the first to get out the funny birthday cards - which annoyingly has always been hard to beat!

He is a true friend, always there to lend a hand wherever possible. He dotes on his daughter Bethany.

Hope this helps - we would just like to give him a fitting card - funny if possible - a card/poem to remember for his 50th.


Many thanks Alan, Rachel, Damion & Callan


Tom replies:

Well, Rachel, Damion, Callan and Alan, thank you for the great photo and the even more picturesque description. Paul, this one's for you.

Paul’s 50th Birthday
By Tom Mulhern

To recognize Paul, who's truly one of a kind
We're going to tell all here, and hope he doesn't mind

Paul's not as loud as claimed, his voice just carries well
And if you didn't catch it, in a minute he'll re-tell

Whatever he just said, which could be most anything
Because Paul seems to know a bit about everything

A trait that comes in handy at the weekly pub quiz
Where (reliable sources tell us) he's the undisputed whiz

To call Paul with a sales pitch is probably a blooper
Since the very thought of cold calls makes him swear like a trooper

He won't stand for any nonsense, and he always speaks his mind
Not that Paul is vulgar, he's really quite refined

You see, he plays the organ with brilliance, speed and power
His fingers sometimes exceeding one hundred miles per hour

His lovely daughter Bethany is the apple of his eye
And when you need a helping hand, Paul's sure to be close by

Paul, you're turning 50, and good wishes by the gallon
Come to you from Alan, Rachel, Damion and Callan.
