It's a Wrap

I’m not too swift at wrapping gifts But I make an attempt, So therefore from critiques I think That I should be exempt. I purchase pretty paper Though I rarely splurge on bows, Yet sometimes tie a ribbon ‘round (Where my ineptness shows). I then attach a card or else A gift tag to and from, Just so the right recipient Knows whence the gift has come. Since I take great care when wrapping, The results may make you scoff. Still, the best part of a present Is to rip that paper off!

You can say that again...I am terrible at wrapping , no edges meet and paper sticking up in areas, but it sure is easy to unwrap what I wrap. :) Nicely one Ilene

My late wife and children always bemoaned I never wrapped gifts (I never saw a point in buying wrapping paper to be shredded) and not signing greeting cards (so they can be used again) but they all survived an happy Christmas - and their mother's care in wrapping presents and signing cards! Well caught and writ again, Ilene! Aloha! Rico
