A LETTER FROM OAK RUN

The following song was written (& sung) by Oak Run resident Dale Wurzburger
at the December 2007 ORHA General Meeting.
It is take-off on the song "A Letter From Camp" (Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah!) written by Allan Sherman

Hello Daughter, Hello Son,
Here we are in beautiful Oak Run.
Years of working is in the past,
adjusting to retirement so very fast.

Our home is roomy and very bright;
we count our blessings every night.
The house is neat; so is the yard;
great neighborhoods flank the boulevard.

Activities abound if you so choose;
play some games or take a snooze.
There are clubs, heaven knows,
much local talent and Ambassador shows.

Swimming pools and hot tubs,
Palm Grove, Island and Orchid Clubs.
Golfers are happy with grass and knolls,
beautiful courses, twenty seven holes.

We wear shorts, not Versace.
Play some tennis and some bocce.
Have sore knees and a bad back,
but still play horseshoes and Pad-Rac.

Go to Doctors, but we have mettle,
also thrive on the Early-Bird Special.
There is shuffleboard, dance or song,
checkers, table tennis or Mah Jong.

Water exercise, yoga and Tai Chi,
or lounge about with cable TV.
We play Bingo, shoot some pool,
take 55 alive, the drivers' school

Use the Travel Club for our vacation,
trips both local and across the nation.
There is lightning and heavy rains,
sinkholes, lovebugs and hurricanes.

Volunteers make this place glow;
crime is almost as rare as snow.
Board of Directors and Neighborhood Reps
guide our destiny; we hope for the best.

Mr. Ghumman's dream is achieved,
many of us have always believed.
Problems arise and may evolve,
but working together they can be solved.

So dear children in Northern climes,
please be assured we have good times.
For through laughter and some tears,
our lives are blessed in these glorious years.

A choice to be happy is the way,
for each of us to love our stay.
For in this place we don't have to prove,
from Oak Run to Heaven is a lateral move.
