I need a Poet....

    I have a request to all the poets out there...

    We are going to a wedding this month and the bride and groom sent out invites last month - on this invite was a poem and basically the gist of it was - we want cash not presents.

    Now - I always give cash - never bought a prezzie in me life for a wedding but 2 things this time.

    1. The same couple and all their family have always given presents (even when it was requested that presents not to be given only cash). At our own wedding, as we had lived together for years had no need for presents requested this and they still proceeded to give us a clock!!

    2. We had already bought the prezzie earlier on in the year - spent €150.

    So what I would like is for someone to pen me a poem basically saying feck you, we'd already bought the present and that's all your getting.

    And also my wife is singing for them at the church, which she won't get anything for either!!!

    Thanks in advance:)

    I saw what you wanted, a big wad of cash,
    Unfortunately I'm too poor, to ever be so flash.

    I know you'll prefer, this little treat of mine,
    Sentimental value, think of us all the time.

    And if you really hate it, and want it to go away,
    Just get on the laptop, and sell it on eBay.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,844 ✭✭✭Honey-ec


    Here's Yisser Pressie, You Ingrates - a haiku

    We got you a gift
    It's not the cash you wanted
    Ask me arse for that.

    Perhaps present the poem AS the present?

    On the happiest day of your lives,
    I hope you like these knives,
    If you don't,
    Or simply won't,
    Fùck you,
    You fùcking fùck

    I wandered lonely as a cloud
    To your wedding I was bound
    I always gave cash, be it euros, pounds or punts,
    But not for yous, you ungrateful *****!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,672 ✭✭✭elefant


    Man you know we've been friends such a long long time
    And now I'm ready to lay it on the line
    Wow, you know it's your wedding and my heart is open wide
    Gonna give you something so you know what's on my mind
    A gift real special, so take off the top
    Take a look inside it's my dick in a box


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,695 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    You're looking for money, but since I'm from Cavan
    I'm so sorry honey, this pre-bought present you'll be havin'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,449 ✭✭✭Call Me Jimmy


    Ye just missed one OP, hear he was pretty good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 533 ✭✭✭heretochat


    I got you a present
    Then you said you wanted cash
    Accept what you're given
    Let's go on the lash


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,154 ✭✭✭Dolbert


    Lots of good ones here :)

    We got your card and were so delighted
    That to your wedding we've been invited
    We know for years you've built a home
    With kettles and toasters made of chrome
    And so your wedding gives us pause
    To search for a really noble cause
    And help those less fortunate than ourselves
    To fill their stomachs and empty shelves.
    We've donated your gift to charity
    We hope you're as happy as can be!

    sell my gift to get your cash
    my singing wife wants your cash
    my wedding gift is not crap
    your a sap for asking for cash


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,609 ✭✭✭stoneill


    Neither cash nor coaster
    Here's a toaster


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 692 ✭✭✭jinkybhoy


    Thanks for all the quick responses - keep em coming!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,824 ✭✭✭vitani


    We could have given money,
    Which you said to us to do.
    We know you just didn't want a fuss,
    So here's a lovely gift for you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,042 ✭✭✭zl1whqvjs75cdy


    Didn't feel like giving you cash,
    Or writing a poem,
    **** off


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭podgemonster


    As I look expressionless at the Clock you gave to us
    I am sure there will be minimum fuss

    For you to get a physical gift
    That you can treasure 'til your marriage drifts

    For years to come will darkness bring
    Hear the sorrow in my wife when she will sing

    Our friendship is pure, priceless yet free
    But Argos has a no returns policy

    Enjoy your day and your eternal incarceration
    I am so dead inside i went to Boards for inspiration

    When choosing you a present the decision was so fraught
    And in the nick of time the perfect gift was bought
    Then came your invitation, all bad-mannered, tasteless, crass -
    You didn't want my thoughtful gift, you only wanted cash

    Now I won't let this come between us
    or our friendship would be lost
    remember it's the thought that counts
    the gift,
    and not the cost.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,664 ✭✭✭✭retalivity


    I had read your request with surprise,
    And thought it strange how no gifts would be supplied,
    It seemed terribly rude,
    in exchange for a few drinks and some food,
    So instead I am sick that day (I lied).

    just give them the clock back....and post photo of their faces on receipt....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,185 ✭✭✭✭FixdePitchmark


    Cash is only paper , folded in two.
    As before , It meant nothing to me and now you.
    So I went and got an nespresso machine
    what else could I do , cost a coffee bean.

    Asking for cash is a classes act
    You know that yourself, face life facts
    A day like this, is to share with each other
    So next time i call, some latte with sugar

    Your house is inflatting, your belly too
    Your hairline is receding, Rooney for you
    How did you land such a good looking bird
    You''ll now look like Clooney, I know absurd

    So thanks for the "****ing bedroom clock" from jinkybhoy
    it keeps me on time but usless for rhyme
    Your new wife when over, she likes it very much too
    Oh **** , ive said too much , over to you.................


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,320 ✭✭✭Ace Attorney


    I enjoyed the poem on the invite,
    But i brought you a present because it felt right,
    For my wedding, you gave me a clock,
    I asked you for cash, but alas it was not,

    So this year at your wedding event,
    I've decided to give you a present,
    Good luck to you and your wife to be,
    All the best from my wife and me.


    P.s Give cash at weddings!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,652 ✭✭✭I am pie


    We asked for cash, you give us a clock
    Take this gift or lick the b4lls dangling below my c0ck


    Suggest you approach with gift in one hand and your plums dangling.

    We knew how you felt,
    when you wrote your poem,
    Looking for cash,
    instead of a toaster!
    Well you were too late,
    we'd already chosen,
    Your present from us,
    you pair of c*nts.
    Shove your clock up your holes,
    It's no use to us.
    The Missus is singing too,
    Which she won't get anything for either.
    So lets call it quits,
    You pair of sh1ts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,301 ✭✭✭Cunning Stunt


    There was a young couple to wed

    who asked that our wallets be bled

    Now we hope they're not miffed

    but we got them a gift

    They can like it or lump it instead!

    Take it back to the shop and trade it in for the complete collection of Johnny Cash albums. Give them that.

    Present and cash dilemma sorted in one fell swoop :pac:

    Use what Bernard Manning always wanted to say, if he ever got on the Antiques Roadshow...

    "See this here, do you know what this is worth? Fúck all. Now fúck off with it."


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,824 ✭✭✭vitani


    Thank you for the invite
    Which we received with much delight
    (And just a little mild surprise
    At the poem which was inside).

    'Cash?' you asked. 'Bah!' we said,
    'We'll do much better than that.
    We'll choose a gift with thought and care,
    Maybe something for your flat...'

    So here it is, our gift to you,
    We hope it's up your street.
    And if it's not, well that's too bad,
    Because we lost the damn receipt.

    you're a very talented bunch of individuals jus remind me never to invite any of you to my wedding


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,952 ✭✭✭Lando Griffin


    Tick tock goes your clock.
    Is this a wind up?
    Batteries not included removed it and threw it.
    Back in its box every second, hour and minute you have been just been reunited.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall


    We got your wedding invitation,
    and danced a merry caper,
    but to our utter consternation,
    attached was written paper.

    We had a gift handpicked for you,
    one purchased with our wages,
    We entered an installment plan,
    and paid for it in stages.

    But cash you want,
    so cash you'll get,
    but not as much this date,
    after spending two bob on this card,
    We're only left with eight (euro).

    Have a great day, and don't worry about the previous gift,
    We are going to keep it for another wedding.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,518 ✭✭✭stefan idiot jones


    Here's a ditty that came into my head,
    as I was nailing your girl on top of your bed. She's a high maintenance that's a fact,
    she even vajazzles her big shaven tw@t.

    Now I know you're one of my oldest chums,
    but I can't stop your missus from sucking my plums.
    And your taste for cheap lager is quite interesting,
    you build up quite a thirst doing all that fisting.

    For your wedding gift I have to make an awkward decision,
    while my forearm is stuck in this slappers incision.
    That crappy clock that you gave me never keeps time,
    from the length of my cock your one's snorting a line.

    So I've impregnated your bride which you couldn't do,
    Your so fu@king tight people call you a Jew.
    Enjoy your wedding for all that it's worth,
    Just remember your wife took the whole of my girth.

    Congrats to the happy couple on this special day, and don't let her near the Spanish waiters.
    Only joking old friend. Now go and have sloppy seconds with the beautiful bride.

    I feel the limerick format is slightly inappropriate. But at least you didn't attempt one referring to your user name.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,706 ✭✭✭sadie06


    Don't feel bad, it really is fine
    That you so helpfully dropped us a line
    To tell us that presents were not needed,
    but alas, your instructions were not heeded.

    This sacrament is marriage, we know, not confession,
    but I don't think you've noticed, we're in a recession!
    We spent what we could, no more and no less.
    So here is your present....goodnight and God bless.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 567 ✭✭✭.Henry Sellers.


    So I hear its cash your after,
    "No gifts, just money",
    Some cheek!
    Thinking back of that clock you got me,
    Jaysus, you were some hungry prick that week.

    Now its my time for vengeance,
    Ill rightly fcuk you up,
    Ah I'm only messin,
    I wish you the best of luck.

    But seriously about that clock,
    You must have been having a joke,
    I can be funny to you know,
    So I gave yer misses a poke.

    Start with this

    Now this is a story all about how
    My plans got flipped, turned upside down
    And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
    I'll tell you how you got this gift of Newbridge Silverware



    The rest should just fall in to place. You're welcome
