The Gift Wrapper
It takes some of your time
to judge who among us,
aspiring beauty queens,
stand-out.
Then – you pick me as the winner,
choose the crown that suits me,
a sash of tiara’s hue,
and a plaque that bears your name.
Too soon, my reign’s over
those accolades are set aside,
not by my successor,
but by eager hands
enthusiastic to know what
surprise I bring forth.
