Birthday Cake
Why is birthday cake so good?
I love it oh so much!
It's so good to eat-but even more-
I think it's nice to touch!
It's squashy pink and squishy white
And stuffed with special goo.
With candy roses on the top-
One time my piece had two!
I like to blow the candles out!
I like to make the wish.
But more than all I like to lick
The frosting off the dish.
Now sundaes are quite wonderful.
Banana splits are just fine...
But birthday cake is something else-
Especially if it's mine!
