Giftwrap
The last moments of revelry finally end
The ice cubes in my glass slowly melt
Joining in silence some droplets of gin
Never tasted, intoxicated, or felt
Friends we met in surprise
Say their final goodbyes
And leave a faint spell of enchantment
And the fireplace burns gentler
With the soft scent of ember
As our joy mellows out in contentment
And though dawn may bring a brighter sun
Than human eyes ere looked upon
I know it's warmth will never compare
To the crumpled giftwrap and the memories there
Boy! That's a nice homey warm one. (Hic!)
