Birthday Cake
Maybe you like chocolate,
With the icing smooth as silk
Or shortcake filled with strawberries
To serve with ice-cold milk.
You might select a carrot cake
With yummy cream cheese frosting
Or mocha or red velvet –
All the choices are exhausting!
It’s possible that you would choose
An ice cream filled confection;
A pie or tart would be, to some,
Their number one selection.
Whatever one is served to you,
With candles all aglow,
Will be just perfect on your day
To make a wish and blow.
So happy birthday! Hope your cake
Fulfills your appetite.
A birthday comes but once a year,
So take a giant bite!
