The present

There once was a little boy

He wished that he had a toy

He begged for it every year

He always burst into tears

Until there was a gift

That a friend had bought from the thrift

The gift was given to the boy

Who was jumping in joy

The boy unwrapped the box

His face sly like a fox

There was nothing there

He was tricked just like the hare

The boy was very sad

Then he became mad

He waited for next year

This time he did not fear

He made a car key

And claimed it was for free

He threw in his yard

Which was slathered with lard

His friend dived straight in

They slipped and fell into a bin

They were lectured by the boy

To never bait out joy

And this is why

When gifting a present, you should always try.
