Birthday In Bruges

At birthday time, I was in Bruges And what a treat for me, For it's a place as charming As a city gets to be. The streets are paved with cobblestones, Canal boats drift between; The churches, castles, towers Are among the best I've seen. Each block has chocolate shops galore And beer for every taste. Indulging in a waffle's also What should be embraced. And if you like to shop, my gosh! The stores are cool and hip, Enough to keep you occupied On any shopping trip. So here's the way my birthday went - Meandering the streets, A lovely cruise on the canals With beer and chips for treats. A visit to a special store And splurging on some shoes; An ice cream cone, my husband there - I really couldn't lose. A birthday's only once a year - To celebrate's a must; And birthday time in Bruges Left all the others in the dust.
