“Token Not Redeemable For Friendship”

CEE

I’m not into being
The miserly guy in some made-for-Christmas movie,
I try and give as much as I can to others
Except, I give in an odd way, as in
I’ll meet someone, find out they’re kookoo into sports,
Then run home, and tape ‘em
8 VHS tapes’ worth
(this example is outdated, I realize that;
enjoy polishing your favorite, finicky Blu-Ray)
8 tapes of Bryant GumBall’s HoBO show
And, I’ll give ‘em with pride
And, get blinked at
And, they’ll thank me like I looked at their daughter
For two seconds too long
And, they’ll never watch the tapes
“Oh, I just haven’t gotten around to it”
They’re lying, we both know that
They probably threw them away
That’s what I would have done
