B-Day-3--By Gerald McBreen--United States

B-Day-3

I'll sing a birthday song

though it may be out of tune

I am hoping it will do.

I hear you are three

and just as proud

as you should be.

If I count on my toe-ies

what comes next

is number four.

So I'll whisper on a breeze

in your dreams Happy B-day

Happy B-day number three.
