Regifting Gone Wrong (Limerick)
Here’s a 2-verse limerick to celebrate National Regifting Day (3rd Thursday of December.)
Regifting Gone Wrong
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A woman was trying to sift
Through items to maybe regift.
But alas, she confused
The stuff she perused.
I suspect that some folks will be miffed.
A fruitcake went back to the sender,
And the same thing occurred with a blender.
Then a gift from her brother
Got sent to her mother.
Her relationships now need a mender.

i think we may still have an iron from our wedding….haha…fun limericks…
Well, Mad Kane, you can best believe that I will be keeping the iPad that I just know you’re getting me this year, so you don’t have to worry about that. :>)
Mother got a book from dad
who made it a gift for Pat
She gave it to her brother
who passed it on to mother
…will it be every read?
Ah, I love a cautionary Christams tale.
I hope you have a happy Christmas and New Year Madelaine, Cosmo.
definitely have to keep everything straight if going to take a chance on regifting! {smile}

Rhyming “miffed” and “-gift” was quite clever! I agree with the above, this is a relevant cautionary tale.
brilliant and something I.always worry about. happy Christmas
So Cool Madeleine, Yes no doubt there will be a deluge on Trade Me, I personally think it is very bad taste but people will continue to do it. Very ungracious recievers me thinks. Have a lovley Xmas
Oh Mad! I love laughing as the light is just beginning to arrive. Thank you for the big Sunday smile :)
Thank you for the laughter ~
Wishing you Merry Christmas ~

Ha! This is a hoot. Also very timely right now. I did go to regift something that I thought was from my daughter and thought Id best not give it to the intended recipient no matter how much I thought she would enjoy it. Her mother-in-law, that is. LOL
Still, I would like to see their faces receiving what was given.
Seems a good way to get nicer gifts, always give something you would like to receive :)
Would like to see their faces when they opened these! Happy Holidays to you!!
I actually got to see this happen once… luckily I was neither the giver nor the receiver and luckily everyone had a great laugh…
That’s a good one!
I giggled reading this one, Mad. The frugality and sensibility of regifting may have hit a hitch.
Made me chuckle!
Thanks for the heads up :-) fun christmas thoughts
wonderful limerick.. Merry christmas
Thanks so much everyone for your enthusiastic comments. And have a great holiday season!
