Birthday Invasion Here they come, with birthday cheer,
Bringing gifts just once a year,
Daughters like you don't even like;
You really wish they'd take a hike.
This should be a glad occasion;
But it seems more like a SWAT invasion.
Go away, [Mom/Dad]! Just take a break!
Oh well, at least there's birthday cake. — By Joanna Fuchs
On this day, you blow the candles out;
On this day, the gifts pile high;
For one day a year, you’re the special daughter;
"This is really great," you sigh.
"One birthday a year is really fun;
I want two! I can’t? But why?" — By Karl Fuchs^{[5]
