The Greatest Gift

                           The Greatest Gift

No cake with candles, please pop the balloons
no presents wrapped in paper of maroon
The greatest gift I could ever receive
is the time you spend with me.


                           Newspaper Comics

The newspaper delivery today cost a lot of money
the news received already old, thankful for the funnies


                           New Year's Resolution


Why make a promise you never tend to keep
but for some reason once a year you openly repeat


                          Birthday Cakes

   when young
   cake is fun
get old
and behold
   what for you they make
   is lighted candles with some cake
