today is my birthday, and my cake is nice

my friends and i will share a slice

 

patty is here and julius too

and rita and francis and frank and stu

 

my candles go out with patty’s big wings

as i wish for all of my favorite things

 

my gifts are bright and so are the balloons

we stay up all night to watch cartoons

 

francis and stu play games with me too

and rita and frank say “we’ll draw pictures of you”

 

our whispers giggle as shadows sneak

in my padded room where we play hide and seek

 

as the sun starts to shine my friends go to sleep

and i am once again left with memories to keep 

 

now my cake stays still as i make a wish today

that mama and papa will visit me someday
