Hallmark Birthday Greeting Card

I hope you like this Birthday Card

It cost me almost £3.50

And took me over 10 minutes to pick

I didn't know whether to go with
the sentiment classy or funny

But then it eventually dawned on me

It doesn't matter which 1 i choose
Or the message i write inside

Because sadly you have heard 
all my appologies and excuses
over a 1000 times before

That is why i plumed for this 1

And all it says is simply 
Happy Birthday

This 1 never got lost in the mail
I never forgot at a mates house or a pub
Or arrived posthumously after your actual Birthday

This 1 won't cost you
This 1 won't hurt you

This Card is merely just simply to say 
A genuine Happy Birthday to you

Sorry i was never actually there for you
Sorry for never ever making you
feel special on your Birthday

Sorry for being an emotional retard

But mostly i am sorry for the fact
This card will end up un-read in your dustbin

Because when all is said and done
Life and Birthdays should be spent with loved ones

Not with has been emotional debts and regrets

A simple happy birthday is enough depending... isn’t it supposed to be the thought that counts?
