IOU poems .....help!!!!

Well its my OH 40th in a couple of weeks and I want to make him a booklet of various IOU's. I thought it would be nice to put some instructions/poem on the front to explain but I am soooooo rubbish at this sort of thing I was hoping you lovely people would read what I have written so far and say yey or nay!!

I made this book of IOU's coz I thought you'd find it fun,
Flick through the pages to see what you can use,
Then choose them one by one.
I've left some blank for you to fill in,
In case I have missed anything.
Then hand them over and it will be my pleasure,
To make you wish come true!!

Is it way cheesy??? or should it be more instructions like;

I made this book of IOU's especially for you.
I've put in things I thought you'd like
and left some blank for you to fill in.
Have fun xx

or can anyone come up with something better, not that it would be too hard I'm sure!! :o

    What about this:

    I made this book of IOUs
    And sealed it with a kiss
    To grant you any time you like
    Your every little wish

    I hope I've thought of everything
    Your every want and whim
    If not then simply find a page
    That's blank and fill it in!

    Tear one off and trade it in
    I'll do as you demand
    Now your big 4-0 is here
    Your wish is my command!

    Any good?!

    Brilliant idea :T I never know what to get OH christmas or birthday. He's just had a birthday and I got him a plant trough to start his seeds off in on the window sill.........not very exciting..................book of vouchers would be a lot different :j
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !
