008

008, my love, my first born darling sweet joker

With your charm and your wit, you’re my flame and fire stoker

You are of the finest combination of great artists and engineers

Your work is just brilliant, it brings me to tears

But please do remember, I have not relaxed in 12 years

008 my love, my darling first son

When you ask me “why did I have to go and get another one?”

There is no one to replace you, you will not be outdone

You stole my heart, I promise that game you have won

008 my love, I promise the baby shop is closed, so no third brother

Even 011 agrees it’s enough, we’re good, we don’t need another

008 my love, I have gotten a few grey hairs

From the accidental spilled boiling water and the intentional scares 

But the most memorable of all of your tricks and your dares

When pops was away you got 011 to piss down the stairs

That one you know has not gotten nearly enough shares

You should thank 011, you guys are a pair.

008 my love, you make me angry every now and then

But I think it’s much better when you drop and give me 10

And then say your sorry until you do it again

You lap me on Wyller and land planes with one hand

And make me do things I would never have imagined or planned

You are way out of my league skiing on one ski

You do all these amazing things, I promise I don’t disagree

I don’t know anyone who rocks like you without socks

And that riddle with the cat, the cow and the fox

Well the answer for you

Is that “they ALL say moo!”

But even though you still need to learn how to get properly dressed

You continue to amaze me, I assure you, I’m impressed

008 my love, yes you are so good at so many things

But with your heart and your soul, you don’t need to prove anything

008 my love, happy happy birthday number twelve 

I’m so happy you are here. I think you are happy yourself.

008 my love, even if you never ever follow my directions

I promise you forever my unconditional love and affection
