Arthur Vaso Poet Free verse

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

I bought her a valley of flowers
Expressing her exquisite beauty
I bought her a factory of chocolates
Expressing my assembled desires
I bought her an extra large diamond
Expressing mine devotion

As the dusk turned to daylight
The newspapers vendors out on the corner shouted!
Extra extra
Read all about it!

The phone rang
Her sweet voice filled my heart
She said in her seductive melodic whisper
Extra extra read olive about it
I lied!
