Surprise In Disguise
The biggest gift under the tree
was a box full of boxes
each of six, all wrapped but empty.
By the time he'd opened the seventh
and read the enclosed clues,
he was ready for any surprise.
Never suspecting Mom would choose
tickets for his favorite sport.
January 14th, Barclays' Center for hard knocks,
featuring Badou Jack and James DeGale.
He's going to Brooklyn to watch them box.
