Old Birthdays
by barbara
(PCB FL US)
Complaining of a back sorely bent
The sweat blood and tears quickly spent
Burning his candle from both ends
The irony not lost at all
As "SURPRISE" echoes off the wall
The layer cake looking awfully small
Under candle-flames bonfire tall
As Nan starts his birthday serenade
Gramps turns down his hearing aid
Doesn't disguise the Toot he's made
Or the smile spreading across his face
