Didn't Learn To Wrap
One of the great things about giving is the suspense that the wrappings conceal. The idea of gift wrapping isn’t just to look good but also to throw the recipient off. This is why; people in trying to guess will shake the gift. If you can’t wrap then you are robbing the custom of giving and losing one of the most joyful times for the giver and the receiver. Learn to wrap your gift but if you can’t, let someone who can, do it for you.

Didn’t Learn To Wrap Dropped off
the bottle of wine I put it in
the first bag I could find Delivered a
large fruit basket No frills,
just the wicker which held it The full size
soccer ball Looked plain
with no gift wrap at all Eyes turned
when I walked in A stuff toy
for my colleague had no wrapping Running train
set there under the tree No box or
cover, exposed for all to see The edges of
the book binding were much too hard On the way
home I should have bought a box of card With all the
gifts I decided to buy Really I
should have given them wrapping but I After all
these years still find it too hard Perhaps I
should send them a Merry Christmas card |
