Birthday Presents

Birthday presents for the grands 

Are challenging to find,

Unless you locate something

After which they’ve always pined.


If not, you search online until

Your eye is caught by what

Might be, if you are lucky,

Just the thing that hits the spot.


For my grandchild’s seventh birthday,

What I found for her, in pink,

Was a set of walkie-talkies;

They were ordered in a blink.


Her birthday is tomorrow

But we tried them out today.

They checked off all the boxes

As we put them into play.


Check! For something new and fun.

Check! A breeze to use.

Check! They’re pink and have a light 

So they’ll be hard to lose.


It’s very gratifying

When excitement you have earned,

Unlike my husband’s birthday gift,

Which has to be returned.
