Prized Possessions

Two gifts, how that particular child was selected to receive,
another yarn for another time ( I hope.)

The first gift is a calling card extraordinary,
judging from whom it comes.

The second gift, an ordinary watch,
cheap of the cheapest kind.

The calling card --- on linen paper
executive, exquisitely embossed.

The watch --- Mickey Mouse,
hand band pink, silver stars glued on.

Enterprising as the child is,
she takes her prized gifts on tour.

And so, with a little help from enterprising parents,
Patty Donovan sets the calling card on stage left in neon lights.

The watch, she puts in velvet case, stage right ,lit to look
like the Elizabeth Taylor knockout rock, gift from Jacko.

Between calling card and watch exhibits are placed loud speakers,
which deliver the card holder's speeches during his tenure in office.

Hey, we're talking big time here, gifts of state
from the President of these United States, no less.

Well, the road show is a big success of course,
raved about on TV and You Tube

Until that is, the FBI gets wind of it,
and little Miss Donovan's exhibits are declared verboten

An archaic law dictates, that no two presidential gifts
may be put on public exhibit in the same venue by a recipient.

Thus, the enterprising family is forced to surrender
one of the two prized possessions.

Luckily, Internal Revenue does not get on their case for tax evasion.
I ask you, reader, which gift would you have surrendered?

Calling card in linen paper, signed by The Man, himself,
or Mickey Mouse cheapie imported from China?
