Happy or Unhappy Birthday? Comic Poem No. 139



Happy birthday, tut tut

I love the cake, but but

I'm supposed to be on  a diet

I'll have to eat it on the quiet


Birthdays have changed

Since Covid-19

You cannot blow the candles out

You don't know where the germs have been


Another birthday, boo hoo

I don't want to be older than you

Where has the year gone, I say

I'm a year older than yesterday


Another birthday, today it's yours

That's why I'm sending you applause

It's a piece of cake, a glass of wine

Another photo, I feel fine


Because it's not my birthday

Mine is far away

You can be sighing, nearer to dying

Glad it's not mine, it's yours today


Birthdays are best for children

On the scale between girls and boys

Lots of singing out of tune

Balloons, parcels and noise


Toddlers are easily amused

Every day new food is fun

It's great to have survived your first year

When you are only one


Let's have a smiley photo

One year nearer to walk

One year older, one year dearer

Nearer to thank you, love you, small talk


Happy birthday, happy birthday

Smile Smile Smile

Granny hasn't felt this good

For someone else's birthday, for a long, long while.
