This gift on impulse
For someone else
Is wholly without any
Redeeming significance
Or cultural value

I bought it at a store
In a town we never were
That had a white cat
With twitching whiskers
Batting at flies it saw
Through a window
On the other side

It’s October
The leaves have changed
And already are falling
On all the roads

It’s a silly piece of glass
I would have passed except
I knew you would have loved it
For awhile

A Ruby Pony sounds rather magnificent, and not at all silly. I enjoyed this.

Glass is generous! Many are made from plastic.
Won't that cat be bored when it gets colder and the flies expire.

Methinks the storyteller's heart is in the right place, as places go. Enjoyed reading this work.
