A Gift For Myself

I needed a pick-me-up present But couldn’t rely on an elf, So I found what I wanted on Etsy And ordered a gift for myself. The crafter is stationed in Ireland So when it was several days late, I figured that holiday madness Meant that I should be patient and wait. Today, though, with patience rewarded, A package arrived; there were cheers From my husband, who noticed the dangling As Guinness pints sway from my ears.

I thought "Guinness pints" were potable, but if they are also wearable, then I think you richly deserve them, dear Ilene.
