Flame
teardrops a
birthday candle,
stuck in a cupcake\'s blue
frosting. Mom just finished the
happy birthday oration—happy
birthday to you, dear Timmy—
It\'s time for him to blow out
the candle. He\'s nine.
His Mother:
Time to blow out the candle, Timmy!
Tim blows it out.
She asks what he wished for.
He says he doesn\'t wanna jinx it
Patting his leg, she says:
Good idea, honey. Enjoy your cupcake.
No I\'m okay, your mama doesn\'t get hungry easily baby.
Timmy wishes to live.
