Troubled as to what I'll choose
something which will bemuse
the man who has it all
This is not an easy task 
it's an even more strenuous ask
that the present he shall receive 
will find a smile or joyous laugh

Happens every year, selecting 
something that may cheer
Bringing sparkle to his eyes
a genuine smile from ear to ear
In retrospect, this dazzling effect
can be achieved I do believe
by drinking good old fashioned beer

Maybe a quiet meal for two,
for our love is old, old and true
Counting our blessings
that we are still here,
to celebrate this special time of year
Oh, I'm sure we'll have a ball
Together forever
The best present of them all

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

We can all relate to this one. I seem to have the nack of finding right present at little cost. You buy things that have never been used at our local Salvation Army store. My children have inherited same skill so I am spoiled rotten. Best regards David in NZ
