Out came the lovely birthday cake dessert;
her husband held it up for us to see,
while daughter glanced around- so mystified,
as we approved her pretty cake- did blurt-
"Please, someone read what is inscribed for me,"
she sighed!
Presumed, was "Happy Birthday" written there-
but- "Lynn's Having A Baby," they replied!
This joyous day we'll treasure- guarantee!
"Oh, such a huge surprise- beyond compare,"
they cried!
