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”
