CHRISTMAS PRESENTS ~ GIVING & RECEIVING ~ A BALLAD

 

WHEN I WAS ~ a Youngster ~ CHRISTMAS meant one thing

That lots of TOYS that day I would RECEIVE

It means a whole lot different ~ now that Im GROWN - UP

More blessed it*s to GIVE ~ Now I BELIEVE !

But be careful what you give ~ is what I hear

A special present can dictate a Childs Career !

 

When I was TWELVE what did I get ?

From my UNCLE JIM ~ A CHEMISTRY SET

My SISTER got a Labrador

And she became a VET !

When we are choosing Presents ~ specially for the WIFE

Perfume - Jewels & Lingerie something SHE would like !

 

This YEAR its been difficult due to COVID VIRUS

We all buy from AMAZON - CDS by MILEY CYRUS !

Ladies can multitask & shop til they drop

With MEN things mechanical ?  Yes that is where they SHOP

However now that I have married a WIFE

I give her MY LIST ~ and get on with MY LIFE !

 

AS LIFE goes on the list gets LONGER .............

The wrapping paper roll get STRONGER

I tear the paper when I wrap ~ cos Im a CHAP

Where did ANGELA learn to WRAP ?

What ever the shape ~ whatever the SIZE

Paper - ribbons & bows hide a nice SURPRISE !

 

If I had my way Id give vouchers or CASH

That they could spend on themselves with their PANACHE

*CHRISTMAS PRESENTS UNWRAPPED* A book I quote

How do you wrap A TEN POUND NOTE ?

Angela says *Its not very hard*

Just pop it inside a CHARITY CARD  !

 

Ladies are ~ nonchalant ~ Ladies are Kool

That why I went to an *All Boys School !*

When they get a present they admire the BOW 

And gently unwrap it careful & slow ! 

And recycle the paper ~ for all sorts of uses

Men just rip it off ! We*re from Mars ~ our excuse is !

 

Think what you buy ~ not *Pie in the SKY*

Ask yourself ~ *Would I like this Wotsit ?* 

It is a SIN if it goes in the BIN 

As soon as your poor NEPHEW  spots it !

That is why MEN ~ round the shops do not DASH

They solve ALL their PRESENTS with VOUCHERS & CASH !
