What To Get Him This Year

I mustn't get him a tie
    Number two-hundred and five
  A belt? No. (He needs suspenders)
    He's no longer svelte

  Maybe a wallet?
    What for? He never spends money
  Perhaps a pet?
    Nope. He once killed a bunny...

  I'm out of ideas, I confess
    Haven't the foggiest notion
  Well, I never! He says, 'Come to bed dear
    Your mother just bought me some Purple Passion Love Potion'

Oops! Probably meant for the father in law. Slip her a box of chocolates and a couple of gins… that ought to do it. ;-)

There will be colors forsure, and good or bad dreams to endure. Cute poem, Gershon. Bill

Trust me, that "Purple Passion Love Potion" is powerful, gw. You can never tell what the aftermath will be.
