Before today's delights of reading and writing
We heard chants, ballads and myths of monsters fighting
Previously we relied on muddled up dreams
But now we play dozens of games on little screens
We have cars, buses and trains in all directions
We have bus stations, coach stations, railway stations
Apps tell us bus times, journey times, lots of choices
The best routes to our favourite destinations
We can plan with long lists of packing and shopping
Click and collect or delivery to the door
The alerts buy now, only today, not stopping
Choose quotations, proverbs, motivation, and more
So what prize from this choice of goods could I wish you?
A translated recipe for a tasty dish
The finest fruit basket or pretty fruit cocktail
With perfumed bouquets of fresh flowers, or tropical fish?
\
Pastries, filled with pistacchio or ground almonds
Sprinkles decorating spirals of pink ice cream
Mocktails fizzing with bubbles, paper parasols
A sunny beach or balcony, a summer dream
A smiling, dimpled baby
A cute curly-haired child
Who loves the crowded city
Petals, perfume, nature and the wild
A very good start
A very kind heart
Be nobody's fool
At a very good school
A very good woman
A very strong man
Money earning high interest in the bank
A beautifully big business plan
A job which you love
And challenging work
Colleagues who help
Employees who never shirk
A long-lived mother
A thoughtful lover
Modern decoration
A reliable, secure nation
Rainbows arching across the sky
A calm, blue gently undulating sea
A hand in hand bridal couple
Smiling happily, waving diamonds at me
A fashionable, colourful look
A best-selling reduced-price book
An encouraging, praise-filled friend
And a satisfying big e-bouquet of thanks at the end.
