The Sorry Present Poem by anais vionet

I want to say I'm sorry - your present looks like that.
It wasn't kicked by UPS or pummeled with a bat

The master wrappers I prefer, simply aren't around
A slow economy got them or the covid cut them down.

My boys at Neiman Marcus, I miss those guys so much
and the girls Bergdorf Goodman had such a subtle touch

the lacy Le Bon Marché ribbons, are what set their work apart
no matter where you placed those gifts, they always looked like art

I miss those tasteful craftsmen, but instead of being depressed
I watched some Youtube lessons - and I tried my very best
but the present came out so miserably, I thought I should confess
