1433: Birthday Lights | Calef Brown

"Birthday Lights"
Calef Brown

Light bulbs on a birthday cake.
What a difference that would make!
     Plug it in and make a wish,
     then relax and flip a switch!
No more smoke
      or waxy mess
      to bother any birthday guests.
But Grampa says, “it’s not the same!
      Where’s the magic?
       Where’s the flame?
To get your wish without a doubt,
You

Happy birthday! :)

(I'm not a stalkercreep; I just saw on one of the poems you posted years back that you mentioned it was your birthday. So, happy birthday again!)

Thank you!

If it's your birthday - Happy Birthday! :D

If it's not - a very happy unbirthday to you. ;)

The smelll of newly blown out candles is one of the best ever. This poem made me smile.
