It’s my birthday today,

and I’m in a good mood.

I’m out for the day,

for some wine and good food.

 

I still feel quite young,

though my mirror would scoff;

I feel twenty three,

erm… excuse me – don’t laugh!

 

I’ve got a few pressies,

I’ll be staying up late,

I’m hoping there’ll be,

Champagne and a cake.

 

We might skip the candles,

as there’d be quite a few,

I don’t fancy a lift,

from the local fire crew!

 

I hope you’ve enjoyed,

my celebratory poem,

it’s just a cunning way,

to get my birthday known!

 

You can send me good wishes,

for my special day,

but please – no bumps….

or we’ll be here all day!!
