A friend of mine has a birthday today and while out and about I met someone else who had her birthday today as well. As it only comes around every four years, I couldn’t resist the opportunity…
My friend Max has turned fourteen,
The oldest teenager I’ve ever seen.
He’s the junior in his family you see,
His youngest daughter, she’s already twenty-three.
I wished him Happy Birthday on his special day,
The next time I can say that is four years away!
I met a girl on her morning walk,
With her mother and dog, we stopped to talk.
Her mother said, “it’s her birthday today”
Looked far older than six, I might say.
She’s left uni, she can drive,
Can drink in pubs, not Coke outside.
Has she missed out? Have no fear,
They only hold Olympics in her birthday year!
