Couldn'T Think of Gardenia

A sweet young lassie from Estonia Was besought by a boy from Bologna Taking her to a dance, He wore his best pants And gave her a corsage of begonia. written September 1, 2021

Thanks, Shirley. I just wondered why his mother didn't tell him that a begonia was hardly the posie to give a girlfriend. Actually, they stink! Pretty flowers, but they do stink! Thanks for your read and your comment.
