inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 29 June 2022, contrary.
For wife’s birthday, bought trinket, doe-eyed,
But she said, “Want no presents”; I sighed,
“I’m no longer a youth”,
“I’m too long in the tooth”,
I complied. Now I’m sleeping outside.

That word trinket made me immediately think “doodad.” Not a good gift.
