Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday

They didn’t invite me,
Of course I know why,
But that doesn’t mean
I’m not gonna try
To make an appearance,
To stir things a bit
And make it a party
They’ll never forget.

They think they can shun me,
That people don’t know,
But like that big pimple
Their blemish will show.
I know that they’re certain
They’ve witnessed my worst,
But just let them push me –
I promise; I’ll burst!

I needed a costume
To blend with the crowd
So tight pants and bright shirt
Would not be allowed!
The palace had guidelines
For that kind of thing
And who dared to challenge
The queen and the king?

I borrowed a ball gown
And looked like Snow White.
Believe me; Prince Charming
Was nowhere in sight.
I entered the palace
My mask set in place
To wait for the moment
To unveil my face.

But somehow I softened
I couldn’t go through.
I had to abandon
What I planned to do.
At least on her birthday
I couldn’t be mean
To this party's main guest –
My mother, the queen.
