Today is Molly's Birthday
Now please tell us all, dear pet
What special family present
Did you happily just get?
Something for your schooling?
A dictionary, to spell -
Some words you don't quite manage
'Twould help out on here as well
A form of transport such as
A second-hand motor car ?
Would be pushing the budget
(I think) just a tad too far
A moped has half the wheels
And would be cheaper too?
But in the wintry weather
Your beret could turn quite blue
Perhaps an electric bike?
Driving lessons - starter pack?
Money in your bank account
To get you further in black?
Some fine silver jewelry?
A golden watch so timeless?
A pretty charming bracelet -
To record your happiness?
Aquariums cost a bit
And money is tight you know
Presents from both your parents
Are meant of their love to show
I hope you accepted it well
Whatever the gift might be
The greatest present you'll get -
The love of your family
The pleasure is in giving
Not receiving, may I say,
Nevertheless I wish you
Young Molly - Happy Birthday
