Prismacolor

Their little girl loved to draw
So the parents scraped their pennies
Ignoring the exorbitant price
Picked up that gold and red velvet box
Set of Prismacolor pencils
Best richest vibrant quality colors in the world
So proud were they
To show they believed in her

Big eyed, bashful and intimidated
So taken by surprise by their extravagant gift

They didn’t even wait till Christmas
