I have dedicated poems to you on this day

they did no justice to what I wanted to say

so I thought this year I would offer you a  toast

which is far better than any tacky roast

So here goes:

Your mom and I hope you're happy;

we even want you to be healthy;

but to care for your mom and dad,

we really wish you to be wealthy!

Take your vitamins to stay strong;

continue to grow wise like a sage;

 get lots of sleep and take great care,

and be good to us in our old age!

Happy Birthday!
