Birthday Girl

On the cake the candles top. On the plate the cake goes plop. On the chair the birthday girl. Onward dance the final swirl. One less chair the party sits. One less person the game of wits. One less song the record plays. One to win the game of praise. On the Ass the tail goes. On the mask so fairness shows. On the mark to win the game. Onward winners' prize to claim. One more chance to swing the stick. One more time to make it quick. One more smash to free the loot. One for all is what we'll root. Birthday girl for just one day. Birthday girl come out to play. Birthdays come to those who wish. Same time next year and we'll play fish.

Thanks Kim. I appreciate the praise. For a quirky poem I wasn't sure what to make of it myself. LOL
