Poetry Monday :: The Birthday Song

Because it's Poetry Monday today,  Diane - who has taken over the hosting of  this challenge - and Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings - who supplies us with many of the topics - are also writing wonderful, funny, thought-provoking, ingenious and honestly well written verse. Go and read them!
  Karen of Baking in a Tornado has joined us in this crazy pursuit, and promises us at least a poem a month!
  SpikesBestMate often publishes a nice verse in the comments.
  Jenny at Procrastinating Donkey who has been a faithful participant, is slowly returning to blogging after her husband's passing from this world. Let's continue to send warm thoughts, good energy, and lots of prayers her way, now her mum needs a serious prayer too. But still we dare hope that she will join Poetry Monday again.

Todays topic is The Happy Birthday Song. Apart from a Danish birthday sone,  we also sing this one for birthdays in Denmark, and we sing it in English. We learn it in school, and we sing these two birthday songs for everybody, children and grown-ups alike - and even the queen - on their birthday.

But today is not my birthday, nor is it the birthday of anyone I know. Ergo most of us are probably celebrating our unbirthdays today.
All I can do today is a Haiku:


Happy Birthady song
Is for that one, special day
Today - Unbirthday song.

Next Mondays topic is a two-in-one: Independence Day (US) or Sidewalk egg-frying day.
