Thank You For Your Wedding Gift

Thank You For Your Wedding Gift  

By Elton Camp

Mary knew it was time she wrote
The wedding gift “thank you” note

For those who’d wisely given cash
She’s already sent them in a dash

As long as the amount was enough
Expressing thanks wasn’t tough

While for some paltry sum
It proved more hum-drum

For cheapskates, she didn’t care
Who didn’t even pay their share

Her wedding cost a lot of dough
Such skinflints shouldn’t even go

“No boxed gifts” didn’t work
Yet she must “thank” the jerk

If she could do the wedding over again
“Cash only” the invitation would begin

Still, she strove for something “sincere” to say
And sent the “thank you” notes on their way
