Slow and stealth like a tiger,
I weave through the holiday browsers,
dodging ribboned mines of packages,
children being tugged through the menagerie,
and rivulets of sodas splashed onto the floor.
I am preying upon the store that
advertised the ultimate selection of
gifts for the whole family, and I sense
that I must be quick and agile if
I’m to acquire my targeted gifts and
return to my den unscathed.

Excitement of a new home dwarfed by
wobbly knees,
tired, crooked back,
dangling, strained arms.
Sound familiar?
If anybody’s listening, I’d like
to suggest any housewarming gift
be held to things that don’t need
assembled, put on display or hung.
Just slip a gift certificate to a
nearby masseuse inside an envelope
with sincere wishes for a speedy recovery…
And did I mention I like chocolate and wine?
Sincerely yours,

I’ve been told I’ve expensive taste,
but I have to disagree,
for I’ve just seen the price list
of Christmas 2013.
The gifts are somewhat dated,
although I do like gold,
but it seems the most expensive
is dancing ladies, count them…nine!
The cost is rather pricey
at over $7,000,
but I just can’t quite envision
having dancers living in.
I haven’t beds nor bathrooms
for nine young active girls,
nor the funds that would be needed,
for all their girly things.
Although you may be thinking
of a different listed gift,
please be advised I’m asking
that you save your hard earned cash.
My needs are rather basic,
my wishes equally so,
may we share continued friendship
each day throughout the year.
