Buying a Gift

Buying a gift May give someone a lift But it's oftentimes harder than hard. Still, a few might be miffed, Like they've gotten short shrift, If you give them no more than a card. So you browse store to store And online even more 'Til you're dizzy and haven't found squat. It becomes quite a chore And you still might not score Though you've given it all that you've got. In the end you give in So your kith or your kin Will have something from you to unwrap, But they didn't quite win For they'll find that within There is something they'd just as soon scrap.

I'm an XL ... I am not a fan of shopping for presents... groceries are different. I like that.

Nice write about the world of the retail business. Reminds me of when I worked at some stores.
