The Birthday I Never Had

c It all started out with the greatest gift of all,

The Special Edition DVD Collection of James Bond.

So a big marathon we all saw,

And in our backyard, we swam in a pond.

The day was going well with the marathon in play,

All the movies we saw and the cake we ate.

I opened my presents in the beginning of the day,

And even accepted the big ones that were late.

We watched all the movies, which were as exciting as meeting a star.

Everyone stared and watched with pleasure.

They looked like zombies that had come from a bar,

But I said nothing, and their sanity I did not measure.

The pond was warm, as warm as the summer,

And we all had the time of our lives.

Then everyone left, and what a bummer,

Because my swimming was like a champion's and I loved the dives.

But something was wrong, it all seemed unreal

And I heard a buzz as loud as a train.

Then I realized it was my alarm that had squealed

And I woke up with a huge migraine,

Because it was a birthday I never had.
