Where's the Birthday Gal?

Sitting at blooming Outback Steak,

Drinking water for an hour’s wait,

Only 20 minutes have gone by,

The waiter just asked what’s arye?

Ordered appetizers, oh so right,

But don’t want to spoil my appetite,

Already made my dinner choice,

Looking up at the sound of every noise.

Playing tick tock now with Jim,

Killed 20 more minutes with a grin,

Have a present sitting in Nina’s place,

Looking forward to see her face.

Just got a text “almost there”,

The waiter asks Jim “another beer”?

Just 10 more minutes, it could have been worse,

I’ll put pen and paper in my purse.

Nina is here.

She is Thirteen.

“Outback Steak!

We are late!

Oh crap, oh well,

Birthday gal.”                                        Hanna P.
