Oh no, my birthday’s come around again!
Look, can we just not bother anymore?
I’m happy with the number I was then
Ten years ago - but now I’m forty-four.
But seriously, I’m not serious, for
I like the number forty-four; for a
Start it sounds and looks good - it’s two score
And double double. Double trouble? Ha!
It’s half of two fat ladies: they’re slimmer
Because they still only cook and eat when
They’re hungry, not when things become a bore.
I’m hungry now - I can’t help but wonder
If someone will have baked a cake with ten
Times four small candles lit by dragon’s roar.
