The Birthday Cake

10 candles were placed on top of the cake

With love, care, delight, and merriment

John had a smile that he knew he couldn’t fake

The cake was so heavy he couldn’t carry

With eagerness and joy he blew the candles out

Feeling happy and excited, too

He ate the chocolate cake with his very loud mouth

And with delight he chewed and chewed

John turned 10 at the time of the celebration

A delightful age to be and live

However the cake gave him some constipation

And he went to his bedroom and slept and dreamt

His birthday party was festive and wonderful

Full of joyous rambunctiousness all day long

The party had numerous people and guests

His birthday present was a gigantic Chinese gong
