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
