your gift in a little green box...

a cobalt blue label
with gold lettering
mark a gift for you
could contain in it
the most resplendent jewels,
blanching the Queen of Sheba ...
maybe it was the key to a Ferrari
red like a ruby brook,
as if you were a Hollywood star ...
but I do not have the Midas touch
nor would that do justice to your feline beauty
or honor the fascination you have for me ...
the little box of an emerald green
only contains a heart that loves you
knowing that he does not deserve you ...
