What’s in it for me?
he wondered.
Too small to be socks
that little box
under the Christmas tree.
Last year she’d given him….what?
some thingamabob…
oh yes – a safety pin and ribbon,
saying, ‘It’s a ribbon fob
to pin to your pocket.’
The year before that…
it was something flat….
oh yes – a fabric square and thread.
‘I’ll vest your vest a pocket, ‘
she said.
So this year, not unreasonably
he wondered if that little box
might be a pocket watch
or key.
