Sample verse

We would like you to sample a bespoke verse to give you an idea of how personal details come together in our writing.

When giving away a gift that can't be wrapped it is especially nice to present it with a verse or a song. Framed this can also make a treasured keepsake as a memory of the gift itself...

The following verse was sent by post to present a gift of cookery classes at an up-market Indian Restaurant in London. The poem was a nice touch since the sender couldn't be there to present the gift herself.

40 years and counting - that's not bad, Shawnie

6 years as my friend - that makes me glad, Shawnie

You are always sweet and caring

Well behaved and rarely swearing

Underneath the surface slightly mad, Shawnie

This last year I’ve really torn my hair, Shawnie

Finally I was beyond despair, Shawnie

Looking for the perfect present

Something useful, fun and pleasant

Finally an answer to my prayer, Shawnie

At a welcome autumn interlude, Shawnie

We were sitting waiting for our food, Shawnie

When I with a rapid motion

Snatched that card I had a notion

That you may have really thought me rude, Shawnie.

Now it’s time your culinary flair, Shawnie

Given were some extra special care, Shawnie

Add some curry, spice and drama

At that restaurant called VAMA

Then your skills will you with us please share, Shawnie?
