• [FEMALE]
    That gift you bring and dare to show
    To me was not on my wishlist.
    I thought you knew my heart’s desire;
    Your estimate’s sorely missed.

    [MALE]
    This, this is a CD
    Of our favourite songs - yours and mine.
    Wait, wait, I think you’ll like
    The thought, if not the design.

    [FEMALE]
    You surely put an effort in
    But why not pay cash at a store?
    You say you love me more than life;
    Is my love not worth anything more?

    [MALE]
    Your name is gold to me,
    And your face is of diamonds inlaid.
    Yet, I hoped you’d appreciate
    No store-bought gift, personally made.

    [FEMALE]
    I concede your reasoning;
    If only you had better skill.
    The wrap on my “most treasured gift”
    Of a hundred would garner you nil.

    [MALE]
    Oh, what are such details
    To a couple? (That’s you and me.)
    The most perfect ribbon and lace
    Holds no candle to your beauty.
