Written for our pastor's birthday some years ago......
You're wife told me,"just bring yourself,
a present doesn't matter
don't buy him chocolates or sweets
they'll only make him fatter"
She said "he doesn't garden,
so don't buy tools or plants
And please don't buy him alcohol
he'll start to sing and dance.
books are no good, they'll gather dust
as on a shelf they sit.
Don't buy him running shoes or weights,
he don't like keeping fit.
He isn't into cufflinks,
they're just not cool these days
He's got a stack of DVD's
and music that he plays.
He doesn't need a carriage clock
or watch to tell the time
they'd only drive him crazy
with their ticking and their chimes.
He has a wardrobe full of clothes,
so please, no socks, no ties,
no garments that we must return
to get the proper size.
No flowers, they will make him sneeze,
no ornaments to dust.
He won't be disappointed
cos he's not the type to fuss.
Just bring yourself, just come along,
enjoy the birthday bash
and make sure that you bring a card
and fill it full of cash!"
