Cash Gifts Only

Cash Gifts Only By Elton Camp The wedding invitation was unusually frank “Only gifts that can be deposited in the bank” They’re not interested in some crummy toaster Or even that new high-speed turkey roaster They won’t even bother to take a look At a worthless gift of some stupid book Sets of towels and sheets they so abhor Because they already have them, galore After all, two years they lived together So to have cold, hard cash they’d rather They’ve decided and hope you don’t mind Any presents other than cash they’ll decline “It’s the thought that counts” they don’t believe Plenty of the “long green” they want to receive If it’s not enough to cover the cost of your seat, At the ceremony, they’d prefer you not to meet So if as a wedding guest you expect to count Give cash and make it a substantial amount
