My Birthday Cake.
My Birthday Cake.
what is this, hidden within a slender box?
is it round, is it soft, is it sweet?
i am sure it is unique.
i am sure it is what i want.
you often ask me, do i think its too round?
i must answer.
that i can see beyond its heavenly shape.
for i can slice through it
and produce a sweet, moist,
slice of delcious cake.
for it is safe to say,
regardless if its round or slender
like an ice cream bar.
i love it.
just the way you are.
