On Giving Gifts
Mom's and Pop's Days - graduation
birthdays, weddings - overdone.
One can't forget Christmas
or Juneteenth's fret and fuss...
Every day - a celebration.
Bah hum bug! barks grinchy young guy;
it's time to give presents, my eye!
To shop is such hard work
which I must choose to shirk.
Will a gift card wish them "good buy"?
Comes next the giftee's coup d'etat:
Gratitude - not a big hurrah.
A gift was expected
gift cards are accepted
But thank-you? not a rule of law.
