A Poetic  Gift 

by Jennifer Mangel

There is no one harder to shop for

than my dad.

There are just no gifts that he

would find rad.

A tie simpley won’t due,

He doesn’t need more than one or

two.

A tee-shirt, as I recall,

was 3 sizes too small.

The books in the store

seemed to be a bore

It can’t be something facial

it must be something special,

so here I sit trying to be

POETIC!

I LOVE YOU DADDY!
