Happy Birthday Mother
Mother, today you are one decade older
And I am writing this for you.
Because I’m your daughter
And I love you too.
(A t l e a s t a c c o r d i n g t o y o u)
I baked you a cake
But I kind of set the oven alight.
I hope you don’t mind
It’s the thought that counts right?
(T h a t ’s w h a t y o u a l w a y s t e l l m e)
I looked around for a present for you
That tattooist and I bought one to share
It’s some hair dye,
To hide an ancient grey hair
(Y o u k n o w t h e o n e, p r o t r u d i n g f r o m y o u r n o s e)
So I wish you a very happy birthday
And I hope you enjoy it
As I love you too much to forget you
But I just found out…Holy Sh*t
(Y o u r b i r t h d a y w a s l a s t S e p t e m b e r)
Author notes
Ok then, Probably not as humorous as you would like but hopefully still a bit funny. the bracketed words were meant to be in italics but i cant have them here so your stuck with lots of spaces. but they look kool so its all good.lol
umm. this is actually about my biological mother- and i wrote another poem about her titled "f*ck you" so i really do hate her and was trying to be as sweet and sincere as possible- but still sorta show the unfriendly-ness.
well.. enough boring you
Good Luck judging the contest..

Damn. That was great. I'll admit, I was chuckling through most of it. And the little comments here and there, like 'it's the thought that counts' and about the nose hairs...Just brilliant.
I'm still looking for that venting one. I have a feeling that this one isn't it. But I shall find it! -
oh wow lol darling this was great i love it! n she really was a bitch
lov ya -
You got me to laugh aloud at "To hide an ancient grey hair (Y o u k n o w t h e o n e, p r o t r u d i n g f r o m y o u r n o s e)"!
little typo "As I love you to much to forget you", the first 'to' should be a 'too'; and last line would be 'your birthday'.
Enjoyed your write overall. Good luck in the contest!
