In my travels, I happened to find this little box. It has no key, and has no locks. So, sit back, sip a cup of coffee, or favorite drink, relax for a little while,  and hopefully, enjoy the ride: On the table, the box it sits- All six sides of equal fit- What is the mystery inside-? What are the secrets that it hides? This little box-- That has no key--and has no locks. The Oracles of Delphi-the hermits on the peak- Claimed to see the future-but in truth they did not seek- The power of this little box- That has no key ----- and has no locks. It doesn't eat! It doesn't breath!! But oft it can, and will, relieve Your fears of the fiercest days ahead-- All within this little box- That has no key---------and has no locks. When clouds gather, dark and drea'r-- Eyes swell, and start to tear-- It's not a curse! nor a pox! Just pick up the little box-- That has no key---------------and has no locks. So, with great ferocity-- Quench your thirst of curiosity! Discover the secrets held within!! Feel the power again, and again!!! Learn the mystery of the box-- That has no key--------------------and has no locks (YOU MAY NOW OPEN THE BOX)                                                                                                    Put together with guise and guile-- With hopes that it will make you smile- So, now you know the mystery-- And the secret of the box- There never was a need -- for keys and locks!!!                    Copyright r.riddle-August 17, 2010

Should be presented as a "gag gift." A ceramic coffee cup in the shape of a toilet worked for me.
