Birthday Presents

 

By Folu Agoi

It was Jane's birthday, the reason she isn't found in her birthday suit
Big babe, chic chick spreading round, feeling like a butterfly 
Floating, gloating, rolling, rolling stone gathering moss

Gathering presents fron sundry men:
Wordsworth gave a lovely poem 
Tom gave a golden necklace 
Dick gifted lace hot shots
Harry gave a jingle bell
Jerry gave a drum roll
Paul played a piano
Peter piped a hymn
Sam sang a song
Bill gave a peck
Jim gave a hug
And someone else something else.
