A Christmas Present She looked out the window on Christmas day And could scarce believe her eyes For what she saw beyond all doubt Was a wonderful surprise. A motor car all nicely wrapped With ribbons, baubles and bells. She thought 'Of all the gifts I've had This certainly excels'. She loved her old car sure enough But in it had no trust So unrebloodyliable, A four-wheeled pile of rust. So she was thrilled and tickled pink, "Oh darling! How nice this is!" She grabbed him, squeezed him oh so tight And smothered him with kisses. Then in her hand he pressed the key, She thanked him and looked down, But then her smiles all disappeared And Changed into a frown. These keys weren't new, she knew them well - She'd had them several years. They were the keys to her old car. Now she was near to tears. "I couldn't get another car", He told her "For I know How much you love your Escort And could never let it go," "You are a rotten sod, you know, You really had me going. You must have known what I'd have thought When I saw what was showing, But I've got nothing new at all, That wrapping is a jest. Your sense of humour really stinks, I'm not the least impressed!" "And nor am I" his curt reply "Now just you hang about!" He started getting angry And his anger made him shout. "Why not unwrap the bloody thing? I've got you something nice". She did - and found inside the car A pair of dangling dice. Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
