An insightful look at birthdays, making you really stop and think about what you want people to do on your special day. Thanks for the contribution!

not many enjoy birthday and I am one
yet it has to come and it is always done
a friend who is kind to bake a cake sends it by drone
landing so centered right on my newly laundered lawn
she rings and instructs me to remember the pond
making sure the weeds are pulled and the stagnant water drained
a party she says I must have and she is sending a crane
sure enough she means business to any horror known
worst of all come all the anonymous cons
birthday sir we all must come
seeing your great sign down the street says big welcome
what? a sign? who? when? how? It finally dawns
a friend kindheartedly put up so I won’t deny
another year another growing up another party mournful morn. (aftermath)
