Darling I Bought You A Hoover

I Bought You a Hoover.

It comes round so quick the special time of year.

To buy a present for all those whose life you share.

My beloved partner made out her exhaustive list.

I looked carefully upon the things that she wished.

Some were general but some were very personal.

Some were run-of-the-mill some were pleasurable.

One caught my eye as I tried to make a decision.

Because its details were listed with such precision.

Cordless & Battery powered only; not to be electric.

The long-lasting batteries must be very easy to fit.

Variable speed control to suit all possible situations.

Be straightforward to use without any complications.

Must be able to operate on a multitude of surfaces.

To get into all the nooks, holes, crannies and crevices.

Fully waterproof just in case of unexpected spillages.

And have personal insurance in case of any damages.

Needs a volume control so it's quieter to use at night.

Either fluorescent in parts or have a little bright light.

Interchangeable variable heads would come in useful.

I thought to mess this up I would be a complete fool.

Armed with all the information, off to the shops I went.

I wanted the best, not caring how much money I spent.

Asking salespeople which one meets all the requirements.

Funny Looks, when asked if they personally had tried them.

Eventually I chose the best one and I paid all my money.

I struggled on the bus to get it home as it was quite heavy.

I spent hours carefully tying & wrapping it up so beautifully.

Then under the Christmas tree waiting for Christmas Eve.

Presents handed out to all and I am feeling really excited.

For once is this the present she wanted and so anticipated.

I said happy Christmas Darling I read your list very carefully.

I hope this gives you satisfaction and makes you happy.

She had a glint in her eye as she tore the wrapping paper off.

When she saw the present, I saw her face completely drop.

I said I bought you the best I could for my wonderful lover.

It is the latest, top of the range, all dancing & dancing Hoover.
