Need poem help for invite!!!!

Alright ladies....I need your creative juices flowing for this one!  My son is turning 5 and a week later my daughter turns 1.  So we are doing a joint birthday party and I have been lots of research online about doing 2 themes.  My son said he wants to have an ISU Cyclones theme.  Iowa State University Cyclones that is.  So I was going to do something that would similar color scene and match the ISU colors.  So now I am trying to figure out what to put on the invites.  I am wanting to do a short poem or 1 or 2 liner that can merge the two themes together.  I was trying to look up some funny cyclone quotes or ladybug quotes/poems.  Cyclone/tornado I am calling the same thing so I would obviously like to use the word cyclone in the invitation to hit both themes.  Cyclones are kind of a sensative topic around here has we have been hit with tornadoes in the last few years so I don't want it to be refered to tornadoes in a bad way or scary (especially since it is a child's birthday party). 

Poems I have found on ladybugs:

Ladybug ladybug fly away home, your house is on fire and your children are gone.  All except one and that's little Ann, for she crept under the frying pan. 

Ladybugs are known to spread a little luck, a hug, a kiss, a bicycle, a brand new toy truck!  Today my wish is special and it's just for you!  Laughter, Love, Happiness, and that all your dreams come true!

 

Can I incorporate the word cyclone and or wording about weird ride or something about cyclones and ladybugs....I'm drawing a blank right now. 

Don't have to use any of poems above but was just looking to see if it would trip my trigger on an idea on wording. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This may not be what you want to hear, but I would skip out on the two themes.  If you're going to do a joint party, just do a joint party, with one theme.  It's not like your daughter is going to have memories of her first birthday.  I'm a huge fan of parties, so don't take this the wrong way, but I kind of feel first birthdays are more for the parents than the kids.  If it's that important to you to have a separate party for your daughter, then have a separate party.  But trying to squeeze two parties into one seems a little silly to me.

Let your son have his ISU party, because he's old enough to care, throw your daughter in an adorable mini- ISU jersey or cheerleader outfit, and celebrate with family and friends.
