Phill's 53rd
By snax0
15 August 2006
I just knocked this up in a few minutes - feels great that it came out all kind of natural!

For your birthday!


To my husband today,
your 53rd year
lets go out to eat
and drink lots of beer!


There's much to be mulled
and some time for a moan
but in honesty mate
you can do that alone


You're an ok guy
selective deafness, and grey
but if you think of it Phill
it's really ok


You've nothing to worry about
with the silvery hair
and your legs look just great
due to your golfing flair


So, uphill and down dale
after a tiny white ball
what a way to spend your life
not much fun at all


But you winge and you snore
and you drink till you drop
you laugh like a girl
and you sing along to pop


I think you're quite cool
and some think you are great
as you're a fun-loving guy
and you hate being late


So I'm thinking of you
but it's not half as much fun
as writing this poem
whilst scratching my bum!
