Happy Birthday to my dearest mother
It’s that time of year again to discover
That you’re a little older. Do you feel old?
Gosh, you’re 42! Italics underline and bold
Now that you’re calm and over the fact
That you’re a year older and that is that
Go outside and enjoy the summer sun
Because birthdays are all about having fun!
But let’s not wait until much later
Open you’re presents! Unwrap that paper!
