Happy Birthday

For my birthday, I got a marvelous mask.
The prettiest colors I have ever seen shine

all along the finest and most enchanting lines,

Drawn on the most fragrant piece of wood I have ever known.
It is a one-of-a-kind piece of art;
Telling the most haunting stories, I have ever heard.

It was my birthday,

a day on which all my names take on the most special meaning.

My present was a true masterpiece of utterly eligible craftsmen,

                                            the irresistibly tempting mask;

       but only almost.
