Poetry: Yet Another Birthday Tanka

[nebroadwe]

This one's for you, nateprentice, and your lovely wife:

Ah! Alone at last,
Two forms make one silhouette,
Limned by candles' light.

Remember to blow them out
Before wax drips on the cake.

Many happy returns(es) of the day(s)!

The only thing other people tell me that I can eat that is one syllable is sh*t.

Thanks for the present!

People put fireworks in those, not candles.
