A Birthday Present
A birthday present to yourself
Is perfect, which makes sense,
For it’s exactly what you want,
No matter the expense.
Your closest friends and family
May give a gift that’s cool.
But it will rarely be what you’d
Have chosen, as a rule.
So on your birthday, go ahead
And splurge in your own name.
If your purchase isn’t perfect,
You’ll have just yourself to blame.
