The present time

I was in the mall the other day

Looking for a gift

When a couple started fighting 

The woman, she was miffed!

 

The woman screamed 'You promised me!

Told me you'd get it, you lying slime!

The man said 'I told you, yes I'll get it

But not at the present time!'

 

His words, they got me thinking 

It makes no kind of sense

Isn't the present time

The best time to give presents?

 

If you don't give presents at the present time 

I'm afraid you will find

You're not thinking very clearly

You don't have the presence of mind

 

If you don't have the presence of mind

It means you're not all there

And if you're not all there, you're not present 

So, why should I even care?

 

I don't mind giving presents 

I give them all the time

But it presents a major problem 

If I can only give presents at the present time!
