A Bird Outside My Window

There’s a bird outside my window,

singing sweet and free

But I’m married to a different bird,

who’s far more dear to me

You share a name with Batman’s sidekick,

fighting Gotham’s crime But your superpower passing gas literally all the time

Soon you turn a year older,

but don't you look so grim You’re still the most beautiful creature

to ever tolerate my whims.

Oh, Robin! My Robin!

My bright birthday bride,

The best wife and roommate in the whole world wide!

I love you much more than you love your morning coffee,

And thank you for choosing to grow old and wrinkly with me.

You have a certain system for the laundry on the floor

And a very specific way you like to lock the front deadbolt

door

I know I can be crabby,

and sometimes drive you mad

But remember, out of all your exes,

I'm the best you ever had!

Soon there’ll be candles,

and a cake that’s frosted high

And I promise not to mention the gray hairs catching my eye.

They say that marriage is about compromise,

give and a little take

Like how you stink up the bedroom,

while I stay wide awake But I wouldn’t trade your charming smells

or the way you loudly snore

For any single thing on earth”—I love you more and more.

Oh, Robin! My Robin!

My bright birthday bride,

The best wife and roommate in the whole world wide!

I love you much more than you love your morning coffee,

And thank you for choosing to grow old and wrinkly with me.

Happy Birthday, Robin!

I love you!

Je mwah!!
