A Birthday Ditty for Um Omar

To be sung to the tune of Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band 😉
.

It was forty years ago today,
God shone a little light that day
She’s been going in and out of fashion
But she’s guaranteed to share her passion.
So may I introduce to you
The gal you’ve known for all these years,
Um Omar, living out of her native land.

She’s Um Omar, living out of her native land,
We hope she will enjoy her day,
She’s Um Omar just a stone’s throw from the Promised Land,
Sit back and take some time to play.
Um Omar’s translating, Um Omar’s ever prostrating (ameen!).
Um Omar’s cultivating in her garden land.

It’s wonderful that she’s here,
It’s certainly a thrill.
She’s such a lovely optimist,
We’d like to go to Syria with her,
We’d love to bring her back.

I don’t really want to stop the show,
But I thought that you might like to know,
That the singer’s going to sing a song,
And he wants you all to sing along.
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Um Omar
who is always willing to take a stand!

God bless, and may you have many great years to come, Um Omar!
