Birthday Shopping

Charlie's birthday's coming up,
It my spirit lifts,
For I love to look through the shops,
For the perfect kind of gifts.
A circular saw, a new hammer,
A vacuum cleaner too,
A home car tune-up kit,
A G-string coloured blue.
Some chocolates, a negligee,
Perhaps a new mop,
This is just so much fun,
I just cannot stop.
A carton of the finest ale,
Perhaps a new garden hose,
Or a Dust Buster for the house -
No I've got he one of those.
The Godfather series on DVD,
A new set of guitar strings,
There's so much choice available,
With these and other things.

I never seem to come up with the right gift. I've never got the "that's an amazing present" reaction. Still, I've only got a small number of amazing presents myself - including my first guitar from my wife and a Swiss army knife from my parents.
