Odd Presents

 

Hey can you find me

A pair of pink giraffe

Socks

One hundred yards long

In a sausage shaped box

Hey can you find me

A neck tie for a

Spider

And some gloves for

My fish

I am just a poor

Zoo keeper and I

Really do wish

That since each

Birthday is special

And not to be missed

They must all get a

Card a small present

And kiss….

This one is inventive in my mind and extremely creative and somewhat surreal. The ideas are different than what I am used to and I liked it !

Kids will just love these poems, especially if they are illustrated. Such fun. A neck tie for a spider? How cute is that?

LOL my friend Your humorous sense is quite an amazing thing! I guess that some people are just odd as their requests, but the man of the hour can do it, and can find the good present for each child and person, even women ;) LOL I'm imagining now a big birthday party with many children, and You need to get them presents!
