This Sunday we honored our teacher, Dr. Wellum on the occasion of his Birthday. The following poem was composed and recited by our very own Travis Abraham to the beat of “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy Ray Cyrus.

You can see the candles, the eighty billion candles
And you can feel the heat from far away
And you can see the hair, that slighty graying hair
He might be headin’ towards a new toupee
 
Now we could ask Ms. Karen to tell us all his age
I’m sure that it would give her quite the thrill
But we can’t count that high, no one can count that high
All we know is that he’s over the hill
 
So don’t tell the class, the Wellum’s Couples Class
How old Dr. Wellum really is
Cuz if you tell the class, the Wellum’s Couples Class
We might laugh like a bunch of little kids.
 
Allright, he’s not that old, he’s really not that old
But of course we had to razz him just a tad
The truth is that he’s awesome, its in the Word he blossoms
And he’s top-notch as a husband and a dad
 
His family is crazy, sons run track and aren’t lazy
The daughters draw nice pictures on the board
His wife, she is a hostess, a hostess with the mostest
Dr. Wellum leads his family in the Lord
 
An example to class, the Wellum’s Couples Class
Is the life of Dr. Wellum, wife and kids
We’d all do well to follow the example of this fam,
Enjoy life, love God, and pass on the Gift.
