"The Writer's Cramp is turning SIX this week!"*Balloon1**Balloon1**Balloon1*
A chance to send it something sweet!
I tried and tried to no avail,
so here I write the sad, sad tale.

I wrote a card: To Cramp, with love,*Heart*
thanking fate and the stars above,
but when I mailed it to the Cramp,
I failed to adorn it with a stamp.

I baked a cake with frosting blue
to show my love for the Cramp. It's true!
But when I carried it out the door,
I slipped and splattered it on the floor.

And then I thought "Award-i-con!"*Exclaim*
But alas, it seems my gift points are gone.
"Maybe just a kind review?
Oh darn, my membership I must renew."

I thought and thought of what to do,*Question*
that was good and fun and oh-so-true?
I guess the best thing I can say,
is, "Thank you, dear Cramp, have a happy birthday!"
