A Birthday Whatever
Tick-tock, tock-tick
Another year gone.
In the great game of life
You're no longer a pawn.
Are you taller? Prettier? Smarter?
Pssh! It's your birthday, who gives a lick?!
The world seems the same
But you're so different now.
Smothered by Hallmark cards
And overzealous friends who ALWAYS have a cow.
If you die from the "SURPRISE!" you'll know who to blame!
No, maybe things are better
Maybe a little worse.
Well, you're not getting any younger
Not that it's your bubble I want to burst.
So look at the glass half full (or just grab the whole pitcher)
That's all I've got to say so... later.
