The Worst Gift
I don’t mean to seem unpleasant,
but you can’t call this a present.
Disappointment? I can’t hide it:
It’s a box with ZILCH inside it.When I opened your illusion,
you just laughed at my confusion.
I can barely even stand it
when I think how long you planned it.I don’t want to sound ungrateful,
but this trick you played was hateful!
What you did was really rotten!
I’d prefer that you’d forgotten!You may think you’re oh-so-clever,
but I won’t forgive you, EVER.
And don’t think I won’t remember
that YOUR birthday’s next September…
