This is a poem I wrote for my son's birthday when he was younger. |
There is a place, a quite wonder-filled place Where there is nothing sad, no never a trace There are only smiles and laughs, never frowns Where mouths only go up and never go down Where there is no work but plenty of fun For everyone’s daughter and everyone’s son!. And what is this place, are you colossally curious? Or do you think I’m becoming quite delirious? Why this place can be found almost anywhere That is if you can find a birthday right there! This spectaculous place will for sure make you smile This amazingful place that is called Birthday Isle! At Birthday Isle you are treated so great The service that’s given, why it is first rate! You sit upon gifts that are stacked up sky high So high you can see each bird as it flies by Gifts filled with treats for you from A to Z Like apples and zebras and cute circus fleas, And puzzles and water guns, crayons and swings There’s always lots and lots of fanciful things! And then you play excitable fun birthday games Some are very different and some are the same There’s pin the tail on the tall spotted giraffe A game that is sure to make you quite loudly laugh There’s drop the clothespin in the size 16 shoe While standing on top of the head of a gnu Then a scavenger hunt like none other you’ve seen You have to go out and find one special thing You must find the one spotted musical bird That sings out quite loudly like nothing you’ve heard That lays shiny silver and gold birthday eggs And has not just two, but four long thin bird legs And if you find that special musical bird The one that sings loudly like nothing you’ve heard And gather 12 eggs that are silver & gold And find the one egg that’s the oldest of old Then you will win that most remarkable game And you will never ever be quite the same You will be crowned the Birthday Queen or the King And wear the birthday robe, quite a fanciful thing And the people will say “Bring out the royal cake” And will bring you a 12-layer yummerious cake! A cake that took 8.2 hours to bake! With icing that’s dripping down all of the sides And you can’t eat all of it, though others have tried And try, yes you will, cuz it looks fabulicious Then you’ll blow out the candles and make lots of wishes Then your day on Birthday Isle is over for a whole year And the crowd it will give you a loud, rousing cheer And with gifts, cake, and eggs piled up high to the sky You wave at the people and say your goodbyes And with funciful memories and a giganterous smile You know you’ll never forget your day at Birthday Isle!! |
