Today is my birthday so my gift to myself,

Is a customised poem, not one off the shelf,

My darling and I’ll have a drink, or three,

And all of the toasts will be directed at me,

I dont want a present, but some good food will do,

To keep us both going, all the day through,

My darling’s a great cook, but she doesn’t bake,

So we’ll finish off with an ice cream cake!
