The Annual Birthday Post Turned Poem
The hour has finally arrived, my friends
Another birthday is here
I’d love to scream with joy and glee
But aging’s what I fear
Growing old’s a gift, it’s true
To live your life in full
It should be sunshine and roses
But a lot of it’s just bull
Aging isn’t always bliss
My back’s a pain in the ass
It’s taking away from me having fun
And affecting all of my sass
The lines on my face do show some wear
And I jiggle way more than I’d like
The greys in my hair are plentiful, too
So I escape when I can on my bike
On your birthday, you face all your good
But you also must face all your faults
Like the time you made a bad choice or two
Or you drank one too many malts
The best part about a birthday, you see
Is that birthdays come and they go
And you realize you learn more every day
And how little you really do know.
