A Plate, A Game, A Cake, A Name,
A Lake, A Plane, what fun! What fame!

Let's start with the plate, it holds our food,
With tasty treats, so fresh and so good.
We eat our lunch, and then we play,
With toys and games, the whole day away.

Next, the game, it brings us cheer,
With laughter, friends, and lots of cheer.
We run and jump, and have a blast,
Til the day is done, and it's time to rest.

And what about the cake, so sweet and so fine,
With frosting and sprinkles, it's simply divine.
We blow out the candles, and make a wish,
For more birthdays like this, with each juicy dish.

And don't forget the name, that's who we are,
A special word, that tells us apart.
With love and care, it's given to us,
Our name is unique, like all of us.

Finally, the lake, so calm and so blue,
With fish and ducks, it's a sight to view.
We swim and boat, and have a ball,
At the lake, we have it all.

And last but not least, the plane in the sky,
Soaring high, it waves goodbye.
With engines roaring, it takes us away,
To adventures new, each and every day.

So there you have it, a plate, a game, a cake, a name,
A lake, a plane, what fun, what fame!
