Helen and Phil's 40th

Phil and Helen : 40 and Sporty

Phil came to Parkes in 89
To work as a Vet, he was ready and primed.
A typical redhead he set us afire,
Knowledge abounding to unleash on this shire.

We share fond memories of Turkeys in boots
Doing jigs on the roof of the farmhouse in Parkes
Of parties and drinking and football grand finals,
All part of the fun, we joined in on the larks.

Rugby was the love of his life and he played it with
Gusto and loved a good fight
80 kg wringing wet did not phase this slim figure
Bleeding wounds on a Monday testament to this vigour.

Helen came on the scene
A couple of years down the track
All of a sudden Rugby was second,
Phil started wooing this city girl back.

Of course Helen and Phil went to Uni together
And had a short romance whilst hitting the books
Both young and excited they chose to part ways
To pursue other interests and explore other nooks

Phil and Helen are good friends of ours,
We’ve had some great times, even sharing our cows!
Just part of our family we hold them so dear,
That’s the reason we travelled so bloody far to be here!

The little people they have produced,
Harry, Julia and Alex are so very cute,
Chips off the old block red hair and freckles
Intelligence and looks thrown in to boot.

So we’ll have a drink with Phil, He doesn’t mind a beer,
We’ll have a wine with Helen, and wish her good cheer.
They have a new home and we wish them the best
Hard work and the weather will take care of the rest.
