Birthdays
What's a birthday without a cake?
Have you time and the expertise to make?
Give it thought consider what others do,
Buy ready made if that really suits you.
Now these days you can get it right,
Order by phone or procure by sight,
Type and texture its incredible these days,
All fully professional and the theme pays.
Candles and decorations packaged with care,
Surprising the presentation for all those there,
Watch the recipient when the cake's bought out,
Another happy birthday guests sing and shout.
Yes the year has come and gone,
Time it gallops and doesn't seem long,
Friends and family they gather with glee,
Moments like this are a pleasure to see.
