Before you set sail on the sea
with some testing company
we wanted to make sure your day was grand
as its your last birthday on land.
Having a birthday cake at sea
will be very tricky.
We imagine birthday candles on a boat
would challenge its status ‘as afloat’.
So next years birthday cake will be dark,
no flicker or spark.
It could be a poorly shaped cake
or a marzipan covered box fake.
Regardless, it’s the company you keep
not what cake you can eat.
So a happy birthday friend Sue.
A happy day of birth to you.
