My Birthday

As my birthday draws near,
Three weeks after Christmas,
Not much time to prepare.

No ideas for presents,
Don’t need any more winter things,
Too early for summer things.

I go through this every year,
Always get the cake sorted before anything else,
I hate having my birthday so close to Christmas.

I always get there eventually,
Quicker if people don’t constantly ask,
If they do, it goes slowly.
