Birthday Hat
Apr
04
Each year it grows
With life and love
Bigger and better
Time travelling above.
Picking up treasure
Along the way
Success, Love
Achievement,
Growing family.
Like a hot air balloon
With fire at its core
Each year
It grows lighter
Weightless as it soars.
It floats up, up, up, until
Once a year
It comes to rest
On big wise ears.
Puffing out its chest
It tips it’s wide, full rim
Jingling and jangling
Winking with a grin.
Joining you with
Icre-cream cake and tea
Sports on demand
A crisp G&T.
Happy Birthday Pops
May your Birthday Hat
Bring you fun,
For tomorrow the
Treasure hunt continues
Like it’s only just begun.
