Life’s Journey
It only happens once each year,
Book the train and pack your gear.
Your destination seems unknown,
As you sit there, all alone.
Something internal, in a rush,
Just like the toilet, we usually flush.
Constantly staring at the clock,
Are you waiting for your flock?
Savour the moment, don’t wait for the end,
Nobody knows, if you may extend.
Journey divided into equal parts,
Today is another, we’ll add to the charts.
Your train has left, from the town of birth,
Hopefully located, on planet earth.
The next stop, might seem the same,
It shall reveal, what you became.

Happy Birthday Brother
Hello birthday boy
I bought you a new toy
We’re going to celebrate
By screaming for joy
How does it feel to be old?
You have nothing to worry about
There is still some time
Before you grow some mold
You have options in life
Please ignore the wife
Do something you enjoy
And don’t use the knife
You are 31
You will be 32
It’s pretty interesting
Your face is going blue
I think I’m funny
Good thing it’s sunny
Easter is almost here
And I want some money
$50 please!

Another candle on your cake?
Well, that's no cause to pout.
Be glad that you have strength enough
To blow the damn thing out.

Fait Accompli
The birthday that's best, some agree
Is not the one when you were three.
Each age is the best
The wise will attest
And the past is a fait accompli.

The Gift
Hey it’s your birthday
The time has come
It’s an important moment
Coming from the Bay
I got you a gift
You can’t figure it out
Please do me a favor
And work my midnight shift
You only have to work till 2
My uniform color is blue
Someone will make a surprise visit
And you’ll never know who
