the birthday party

Happy birthday

the morning started with a bang
 four people breakfasted together on his birthday
 it didn't bode well.
 The breakfast table was loaded with sweet things
 He, a diabetic, could not eat, he had an apple.
 Switched on the telly as mother and daughter
began fighting about forgotten things, he intertwined
when the mother cried, got her into bed for a rest
The flat fell broodingly silent.
When the fog lifted the protagonists made up and
sat talking about the restaurant they, with the man
who was eighty years old, should go.
The elderly man didn't want to go but had no say
in the matter, they were going to take pictures
for the facebook.
The birthday boy drank coca cola zero and hoped
The party would be over soon he needed his afternoon nap.
