Buying Xmas Presents

I ran out of ideas long ago, of what to buy my friend,
as we go to the same shops, it gets harder to pretend.
I normally buy chocolates, I think they’re the safest bet,
but now I’m told they put on weight, a present I must get.

I rack my brains forever, and I still have no idea,
until I think of buying drink, and swig the bottle clear.
Now I’m back to square one, as I finished all the liquor,
the shops are shut so it’s too late, I hope that we don’t bicker.
