Ingratitude

INGRATITUDE Hey you guys out there - Can anyone tell me why this chick Dumped me after I went to such Trouble to get her a surprise birthday present? I mean it was a top-of-the-line boomerang. What’s not to like? Then there was The episode of the yoyo - man, talk about Ingratitude - she’d no appreciation of the skill That goes into making the thing. I remember I was also telling you about this African tribal mask - very realistic features, Like what do these women expect, for God’s sake? It’s as well I didn’t give her anything expensive: Was thinking of maybe a stuffed snake, Or a pair of false-teeth worn by Lenin, And even a replica Mayan scalp - If she played her cards right. But it’s all over now : She had her chance and blew it.

Sweetie, you had me laughing out loud! If you added just two more lines, this would make a wonderful entry for Joyce's "Ingratitude" contest. I wish I could send this to the fella who presented those absurd gifts to me. Call me ungrateful! LOL Love, Carolyn
