A Poem for Lent

My birthday falls on Pancake Day.

Tomorrow’s the start of Lent.

Must have cake and chocolate now

Cause once my birthday’s spent

I’ll have to wait till Easter

Until I get my fill

Of all those lovely chocolate bars

That make me feel so brill!

But why give up the things I love

For forty days and nights?

To stop the things that I love best

Doesn’t seem so right.

But, if I’m good and keep off sweets

Until that Easter Day…….mmm….No!

On second thoughts I’ll eat the sweets.

Forget it’s Pancake Day!!
