Pre-Present - Thee More Shallows

The present in your lap has already been unwrapped

Already given and already used, many times before you

And so it goes

That knowing where it’s been makes you worry that within

It’s been tampered with, has it gone bad?

Open it and see

Maybe it’s filled to the brim with magic pennies!

Each time the present is received there are more!

And they will roll all over the floor and past your feet

And give themselves away out on the street to everyone they meet!

Grab the pennies off the floor

Take the pennies to a store

Buy everything you could afford

And don’t tell anyone
