Birthday Pie

Birthday Pie

 

On his day we’ll have pie

A fruity one with cherries

I know that he won’t mind

As cake is so ordinary

 

There will be no candles

To represent his age

A pie couldn’t handle

So many there ablaze

 

We can still have ice cream

To go with our ample slice

And we will celebrate

Another year that he’s alive

 

There will also be gifts

And cards many funny

And games that we’ll play

From spades to gin rummy

 

And we will all celebrate

The special time we’ve had

And his many days

As our dear old dad

    I love this! Especially the second stanza. :-):-) Great flow. Tell him happy birthday from a random person that enjoys your work. I think you should read it to him as part of your/his gift. Your gift can be part of his gift.

      Thanks, SLR. I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. My mother used to bake pies for our birthday celebrations, and when we got a little older, we preferred them to cake.

        If she makes peach cobbler be sure to save me a slice!!

          Thanks, Goldfinch. Yesterday (June 27) just happened to be my birthday, and we had peach cobbler to celebrate...maybe doughnuts next year!
