Happy birthday to our dear Nook friend Rebecca,
A beacon of hope to the folks in Tribeca,
You might not give a rip or Care About Cary,
But what's not to love about our Nooker from Derry.
Typing the lyrics of "Tailspin" with care,
In hopes that the right words might somehow be there,
And beckoning always with Nieldsy good cheer,
Especially when Christmas AND her birthday are near!
You get more bang for the buck when you get way more presents
From loved ones and teachers and schoolmates and pheasants!
All Nookers secretly wish for a "Ticket to Her House,"
But do they say so, not they, nay, not even a peep from a Nook mouse.
When these good cheer times pass, as they do sadly each year,
Rebecca feels like "Yesterday's Girl" once more, I fear.
But she'll always be special, our Nook friend Rebecca,
The beckoning beacon of hope to Tribeca.
