It’s a strange way to celebrate your birthday

Maple my dearest

I wish I could be there to give you a card

And a hug

Even if only for five minutes

As you gave me on my birthday

But a poem and the best wishes of my heart

Are all I have to give in this moment

And so I’d like to say

You really are a jolly good fellow

You really do find the best in people

I love the cups of coffee that you buy me

We should definitely go out to dinner

So we have time to talk properly and I’m not rushing off

Every two seconds

If I was there

I’d sing it to you on my guitar

I hope you get a Canadian Muscle Car

And have fun in Redcliffe

Happy birthday, Maple

A very happy birthday to you
