What To Buy

What to Buy?
 
Avoiding clothes again this year
You have strange taste; so wipe that sneer
   The tie that you said “blew”
   And your hissy fits too
The men’s department?  I’ll stay clear!

 
For some a gift card would be nice
But you whine over every price
   No hobbies have you, dear
   You even find sports *****
So what do I buy you?  Think twice!

 
Please drop the act; I’m not buying
Cross-dressers are known for lying
   Victoria’s Secret
   Silk panties, your pocket?
For my high heels we’ll be vying

Theesa guy you a buying for does sound weird. A fifth of Jack Daniels is usually a safe bet. I mean, like, hissy fits, whining, silk panties. Had to read this one several times - hope I read it right. Anywho. I always enjoy read you. Love, Dave
