Happy Birthday
I am the result of the wrong time
conceived in a moment of passion
two wine soaked minds
upon a fertile field
each combined
In early morn
each to their own way
unknown to either
when their passion died
new life arrived
Too soon discovered
both agreed
it was a mistake
easily fixed
neither could wait
I will never know my father
or loving arms
to hold me near
I have been given a death sentence
with no appeal
or prospect of a stay
I will be aborted
and flushed away
soon to be forgotten
no one to care
no one to wish me
Happy Birthday
