Box of Socks

I searched the store with glee; Going on a shopping spree To find a gift for you from me To place beneath the Christmas tree The busy shoppers I did pass; What should I get? I had to ask So many things for me to buy In frustration I gave a sigh Should it be practical or should it be fun? Should it be pretty; will I ever get done? I racked my brain; thought…this is hard! Maybe I should just get a gift card I searched and searched and searched some more Almost walked right out the door I couldn’t make up my mind you see A tough decision it would be Should I buy for a girl or a boy Maybe I could tuck it inside a toy No, that’s not right, but then I thought Something for both; that’s what I’d do I’d pick out something good for two And so I thought two gifts instead of one Boy this is going to be fun I’d made the plan, the plan was done His and Hers is what it would be Christmas unmentionables under the tree Oh how funny it would be But what size to buy I hadn’t a clue Oh no; this just would not do I had to go; my time was gone This was taking way too long So I decided once and for all To save myself a trip to the mall Hope I’ve sparked your curiosity Dr. Seuss would be proud of me For wrapped within this gift of mine A poem for you at Christmas-time Holds a clue; what will it be? Open it up and you will see In this time of hard knocks The perfect gift a box of socks
