The birthday Party

How much fun can

You pack in a year?

Enough to fill a backyard

With kids and laser gear?

Can you take your age

in a slice of ice cream cake?

Then double it twice

For Pete's sake?

Can there be a shout of laughter

For each year

Maybe adding another one

to cover each tear?

Making the birthday fun

Seems the fitting end

To celebrate another year gone by

With family and friends.
