Me and 17

Two boxes – one purple, one green
Purple revealed a cute little kitty with a wistful grin
Of felt, polyester fiber and beans
Green contained six hand-made
Uniquely beautiful clips for my hair bed
A card accompanied each one, both in purple envelopes.
Inside the same inscription,
“Happy Birthday!” the caption

A movie for pleasure,
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Then a meal for the stomach,
Manhattan Fish Market – the seller
Ooh~ heavenly seafood platter
Of fish, prawns and calamari in batter
Mussels too, making its patter.

Opening the door
Finding even more
A Cake!
Crafted, a smile to make

Warmness radiated
Both candles and friends beloved
As a song sung,
A wish made
I believe, from my heart too.

Further laughter
With playful banter
We sought each other
With cream, not the flower
Sparing not even the photographer

Trying to cut nicely
Yet failing drastically
We presented the cake “artistically”

Time came for more delights
Discovering one – CD of her likes
Dolphin earrings in their stride
Another box – a white one this time
A cow! A baby shoe?
Mobile phone holder, the pocket signed

Calls to some dear to the heart
In my joy, they were a part
Euphoria abated
Happiness accorded
My day ended.
