HER THANKS by MITCHELL DAVIS FOLLANSBEE

First Line: SHE THANKED THEM ALL FOR EVERYTHING
Last Line: "REPEATED LOW, ""JUST WHAT I WANTED!"
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; THANKSGIVING;
SHE thanked them all for everything,
From Christmas card to diamond ring;
And as her gifts she gaily flaunted,
She told her friends, "Just what I wanted."

But I, who had no cash to blow,
Just kissed her 'neath the mistletoe.
She blushed a bit, yet never daunted,
Repeated low, "Just what I wanted!"
