We wanted to send you a gift

That truly would give you a lift,

            But we didn’t know

            What would make you glow

Or cause a family rift!

In matters of home and heart,       

It’s important to get a good start.          

              So here’s some money                        

              To share with your honey                  

To take to the bank or the mart!
