She's Just Not Worth It

SHE’S    JUST   NOT   WORTH   IT

Hey you guys out there  - 
Can anyone tell me why this chick
Is threatening to dump me after I went to such 
Trouble to get her  a surprise birthday present?    
I mean  -  it was a top-of-the-line boomerang.
What’s not to like?  Then there  was
The episode of the yoyo at Xmas  - man, talk about
Ingratitude  -  she’d  no appreciation of the skill 
That goes into making the thing.
For Valentine’s  day  I’m also thinking  about this 
African tribal mask  - very realistic features,
Like,  what do these women expect, for God’s sake?
It’s  as well I haven’t given her anything really expensive:  
Was thinking of maybe a stuffed snake,
Or a pair of false-teeth actually worn by  Lenin, 
And even a replica Mayan scalp   -
If she played  her cards right. 
But I feel it’s probably all over now : 
She had her chance and blew it.
Gonna dump her before she dumps me.
