So you don’t like my gift?
Well, let me tell you
that a lot of others
have liked my gifts,
and they were smaller
than this one I gave you,
less smelly, less offensive,
less aggressive, not
nearly as loud and dirty.
So I’ll tell you what
you can do with this gift
of mine you don’t like –
you can throw it
in the nearest ditch
and kiss me good-bye
forever, you jackass,
see if I give a toss.

Leonard.. that's one audacious poem.. liked it..
ReplyDeleteHah, the most heart-felt gifts scorned are the hardest to give (and get over I think).
ReplyDeleteThat's why it's best to just smile and say thank you when given a gift!
ReplyDeleteI unfortunately have been on both sides, displeased with a gift and had people displeased on what I have given.
ReplyDeleteI dislike those ungracious souls, who just can't say thank you~ Yikes!
