“Happy birthday Hayley , school teacher by day, barmaid by night. Drinking with boyfriend Christopher”

Happy birthday, Hayley! The classroom bell rings,  
You sweep into morning with curriculum wings.  
With a marker in hand and a laughter so bright,  
You’re a beacon for minds, filling hearts with delight.

By afternoon’s close, when the school day is through,  
You swap chalk for glasses, adventure anew.  
Behind the oak bar, with a tilt of your head,  
You pour out the stories, the ales, and the red.

While Christopher waits with a roguish old grin,  
You chat with the locals and welcome them in.  
He sips at his pint as the twilight unfurls,  
Proud of the teacher who guides little worlds.

Tonight is your night—let the celebrations flow!  
Raise a glass, Hayley, let happiness grow.  
Schoolroom to barstool, you shine just the same:  
A toast to the woman with two hats, one name.

May laughter surround you and love light your way,  
Here’s to you, Hayley, on your bright birthday!
