Remember Summer?:

Send Me No Magnets

Send me no knick-knacks from your trip
no magnets, matchbooks, mugs or money clip
no cap, no t-shirt, no bandanna- I can’t use it
no complicated thingamajig that you know I’d probably lose it
no toy, no trinket, nor somethin’ that you won
Nothin’ that you picked up on a day that you had fun
none of the funny men with heads that wibble wobble
no jewelry-like things or a bangle or a bauble
no clam shell hula skirt cocoanut head maidens
no souvenir thing good for collectin’ or a-tradin’
no bumper sticker or frisbee with the name of a place upon it
no doohickey doo-dads- I tell you I don’t want it!
( I don’t even need a ballpoint with a naked lady on it!)
I don’t need an object carved out of a piece of native wood
I don’t need anything authentic even if it’s “good”
I need no postcards, pins or pendants- none of that will do
I don’t want a refrigerator magnet
I just want YOU!
