No Boxed Gifts
No Boxed Gifts
By Elton Camp
Anytime some wedding is in the offing,
Up with a gift you better be coughing
To say a gift’s expected is terribly crass
It shows the person inviting is low class
But apparently there is just no end to gall
For brides trying to get the preferred haul
At times, down at the bottom of the RSVP,
“No boxed gifts” is put there for you to see
What this actually means is clear enough
We want cash and not some crummy stuff
But when an invitation for this does call,
I intend to take it to mean, “No gift at all”
