~ Another Letter From Mother ~
(birthday party)

Hello Kids,

Just a little reminder to you
That my birthday is coming soon
I want you to throw a party for me
Complete with a clown and balloons

I'll need a party dress you know
and some patent shiny shoes
The kind I always bought for you
Remember? I did let you choose

I'm warning all of you right now
Lest anyone might forget
I want a big, big birthday cake
Else I'll throw a 'birthday fit'

Now you know just how that might go
I got my learning when you were young
How to stomp and cry out loud
Louder and better than anyone

Then I'll count my presents
Until the job is done
Just to be very, very sure
I got something from everyone

Now that I have warned you
Start planning that party you hear
And then we'll do it all over again
When this time comes around next year

And when the party's over
I still have another request
Order a Limo ride for me
And you can be my guests

I want this ride to celebrate
While I'm still alive
I don't want my first ride to be
After I have died

Love, Mother
