Wording help for an I.O.U

[~Hestia~]

Hi girls, was hoping someone good with words could help me come up with something clever for an I.O.U?

It's my Mum's birthday tomorrow, we're taking her out for dinner but unfortunately I can't give her her birthday pressie on the day. She knows this, she asked for a wet & dry dust buster (saw mine & just LOVED it!), I explained that if she wanted it I'd have to wait til pay day.

So she's not expecting it but I was still going to write a little I.O.U to put in her card

I've got nothing! Hopefully one of you lovely ladies can help me!

Hi CM,

I know there are others who are awesome at writing little notes / poems but hewre is mine. Might help to get you started?

Happy Birthday Dear Mum,
Happy Birthday to you,
We are sending you love and celebrating with you too
But as for your present it will have to be an IOU!

BTW - Happy Birthday to your mum

Thanks! I definitely want some kind of rhyme so it's a start

Or maybe get a picture of one and wrap it up and then this inside it!

I know you want a pressie
but i haven't got it yet
but have this instead
to remind you what you are going to get!

Thanks girls, I managed to bang out a great poem over a cuppa earlier!

A picture would've been an awesome idea if only I had one

Post it on here please :-) I'd like to read your message

lol okay...

I know my hands are empty,
But please do not despair.
I know it is your birthday,
But don't think I don't care!

I.O.U one big present,
On that you can rely.
I.O.U a wet/dry vac,
Please know it's not a lie!

The next time you see my hands,
They will be full for you.
The next time you spill a crumb,
You'll know just what to do!

There it is! Have no idea where it came from but I'm pretty chuffed
