The Perfect Gift
My Aunt Sydelle turned 91;
To find a gift was hard,
But then I had a great idea –
A years-old Mah Jongg card.
She’d mentioned wishing that she had
A card from ’55,
The year when she first bought her set,
To keep that time alive.
On eBay I did track one down
To match her Mah Jongg set.
Her face when she unwrapped it
Was as thrilled as one could get.
Way back in 1955
When this same card was new
No one could have quite predicted
It would make a fresh debut.
