Happy birthday, dear Grandad
I send you many wishes
Above all on your special day
I hope you don't have to do dishes

What's your favourite part
Of a party so big?
The presents, the food
Or the dancing jig?

Do you get nervous
Or wake up early?
Do you get excited?
Or is that too girly?

You've had so many birthdays
Which one was the best?
Primary school, high school, adult years?
I hope this one blows away the rest.
