A Gift That's Not That Dissimilar To Me Today

Unexpected gifts are the best. The absolute best: a chocolate Labrador Or airline tickets abroad to a holiday destination. Or to be thrown a surprise birthday party. Or a video montage of all the people you've ever loved. Or a positive pregnancy test wrapped in blue ribbons. Unexpected gifts are the best. The absolute best is an engraved timepiece. Engraved with the words, 'I love you every second.' What makes you ultimately tick? Something blue, something pink Or were they the keys to a new black BMW car? Unexpected gifts are the best. And the absolute-best-by-far Maybe it was something uniquely personalized. That brought an unexpected tear to your eyes. Maybe it was a space helmet TV. Or one of those bright red Raleigh Chopper bikes. Maybe it was the Christmas Amstrad stack system. Playing back-to-back LPs, War of the Worlds Maybe it was Tinky Winky or Teletubbies. Laa-Laa Mine was simply a one-eyed brown teddy bear With a stuffed sawdust head. I took each night to bed. Given me by my grandmother, sadly long since dead.
