HELP - creative people get in here!

My coworker is retiring and we are working on her open house retirement party invitation. This woman is the sweetest and she told us absolutely no gifts, but if people must bring something, they can bring a donation to our local food pantry. I know some of you despise poems on invites, but will you please help me come up with a poem to say this?

Here's basically what I want it to say but this doesn't rhyme. Can you make this work?


For those of you that know Maudie well,

You know she loves to give back!

She has all that she needs, and requests no gifts,

But if you must, please bring a donation for the Washington County Food Pantry,

That would be so swell!

    I think it's great! There is probably a template on Google somewhere.

  • I found this one on google, that I thought was sweet:

    If your thinking of giving a gift, to help Maudie on her way a donation for the Washington County Food Pantry would really make her day.

  • Thanks Stef! That's really good!


     

  • Despite the dangling participle, here's what I ended up doing! Thank you @StefanieM522 for the wording idea!



    If you’re thinking of giving a gift to help Maudie on her way,

    a donation for the Washington County Food Pantry would really make her day!

    For she has all she needs and requests nothing more,

    your presence alone is all she cares for!


    I think that sounds great!! :)
