My friend's birthday was in a week  
And as I woke up, my day turned bleak.

20 gifts for under $20!  
Seems that there are options aplenty.

Elvis Star Socks,  
Meat Parade Metal Lunch Box  
...

Oh! Could this??...but I had to balk.  
For it was out of stock.

My hopes took another dip  
When my perfect gift took a month to ship.

"gifts for guys"  
But the results were all lies!

Why suggest purses?  
By page five, I wanted to give Amazon curses.

But if Amazon had given up,  
it was time for me to give up too.

"So....what do you want me to get you?"
the struggles of finding a gift
