Birthday Deceased (A Birthday Card)

tried to write a birthday card

Happy birthday to you

You make up what is new

You are sorry you're born

when old becomes you

You're not what I'd call

older than me at all

But you're just a spring chicken

that's too hot to call

So remember my line

that your older than time

When you think you're dismembered

and the life you lived rhymes

So forget your old beef

that your dead for a piece

When the lord burns your candle

even when you're deceased
