755 - The Birthday Girl

This started out in the meter of

'Mary had a little lamb' but lost its way.

The Birthday Girl

Billie had a little cake,

It had a lovely taste;

And every bit that Billie ate

Built up upon her waist.

It had a single candle,

To celebrate the day;

She couldn’t do ‘one per year’

Without the fire brigade.

She celebrated through the night

As only she was able;

Next morning, when she woke up

She was underneath the table.

She was lying there beside a sheep,

Whose fleece was white as snow;

Mary lay beside her too,

And was not inclined to go.

The sheep was far less certain,

And feared it was main course.

Well-founded, as it turned out,

When roasted, with mint sauce. 

Mary thought it fitting

That the event was caught in rhyme,

So let it be now recorded

That they had a spanking time.
