The dawn of the day <br />Wore the birthday— <br />Colourful festoons_ <br />Beautiful balloons— <br />Relishable Cakes— <br />Loving hand-shakes— <br />Jubilancy with buoyant festivity! <br /> <br />Presents! Oh! Presents! <br />Varieties of them! <br />From cute bottles of scents <br />To many valuable jems- <br />From useful articles <br />To futile particles! <br /> <br />'Oh! Why bother with presents? <br />Happy so - with your presence! ' <br />'Why this? ' <br />'Why that? ' <br /> <br />Music over—silence pours; <br />All disperse. <br />Examining presents— <br />'Oh! only this? <br />I gave that! ' <br />Oh! That! <br />I gave this! ' <br />Presence or presents?<br /><br />chandra thiagarajan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/presence-or-presents/
