5623 - Happy birthday to me

Yes, it’s my birthday and it’s just struck me
That my age has just risen by a year 
And now I’ve realised that, I’m not happy 
So I’ll stop thinking about it. A mere
Year now from reaching 60, that’s severe!
I worked hard, until 5, despite it being 
My birthday. Slight setback to my career 
Didn’t get the interview I was hoping 
For, but I’ve applied for others. Waiting 
For better news and, of course, more money 
After work, as often, got in some beer 
The sun was still visible, still hanging 
There when I went outside. Chat with Pearl. We
Talked for a long time. On the balcony 
Listened to music, drank til bedtime near
