Get the birthday candle ready,

'cause...

Here comes Chestnut¹'s carrot cake!

I know we want this to be special,

but Chestnut is a horse.

Any day he's not being made

into an Ikea meatball is a birthday.

And remember, even though

it's his tenth birthday,

we have to pretend² he's six or

he'll be in a bad mood all week.
