"Oh do come in and take a seat.
Long time no see my dear.
I trust you have been keeping fit
at this chilly time of year.
You have brought a present and
a card - how kind and how sincere;
my birthday party is next week,
the day is drawing near.
I have been poorly, quite unwell,
last night I felt so ill and
suffered an awful dizzy spell.
The virus is spreading I hear.
I am sorry you are leaving so soon,
the time has just flown, I fear...
It has been wonderful seeing you,
do call again next year.
