Christmas ideas for our patient spouses (1 Viewer)

[Eric_L]

Tis the season,
to wrack our brains
to give wife a reason
for tolerating the pains

Of our expensive pursuit
a total 'guy-thing'
so what will Mr Red Suit
(you know, Santa Claus) bring?

I thought first of a show
something she'd love!
With explosions that go
Boom! and violence and stuff!

Hmm, maybe not
(though for ME it'd be cool!)
what else have I got
to throw into the gift pool

I thought new speakers, new stuff -I can't get enough!
she's gotta love it cause right now it sounds so rough!

Or a big fluffy chair,
a recliner will do
to show her I care
a big 'I love you'

Aw crap, that stinks
what am I a slouch?
If I get her that I think
I'll have to sleep on the couch!

So maybe I'll ask
what other folks plan
on giving their spouse
from a 'home theater' man.

So put up a post
share what's in your head
so I can stay most
happily wed!

Thanks!

(ps. sorry to the other gender HT aficionados. but I gotta think it must be easy for THEM to buy for their spouses!)

Clever poem.
I'm terrible at gifts... Try to check out http://www.surprise.com for ideas based on profession/personality.
My wife is a schoolteacher and last year I made her a "snow-day kit" which included a blanket, pajamas, cocoa, and a Cast Away DVD (what better movie to watch when you're snowed in). She loved it.
Now I've got to come up with something clever this year.
