32 Christmas Gift

32.

Christmas Gift



I cannot give you a teddy bear

Nor a pair of shoes so fair

Not an apple, grapes nor pear

Never a soft-cushioned chair.



I cannot give you a bounty cash

Earned so slow, but spent so fast

Hurts my pocket, gives it lash

Damn that money that don't last.



The only thing I can give you, dear

Is a greeting so sincere

“May your Christmas for this year…

Be filled with smiles – full of cheer!”
