I handed
them the card with such
A silly,
weak, affected smile.
I knew the
printed words weren’t much
Sincere or
even worth their while!
Next time
with token words I’ll leave
A token gift
enclosed within…
“With Simper Fee,
So please don’t grieve
My first attempt,
A card in all sin!”
N.B.
To ‘simper’ is to smile in a comically craven manner
suggestive of clumsiness, coyness, or coquettishness!
