Flowers For Every Occasion
She received flowers today
from her husband the radio Dee Jay,
they had their first dispute last night
cruel words spoken in this mis-matched fight.
Yet all is forgiven he didn’t mean it at all
the flowers he sent her, the bunch was not small.
She received flowers today
it was not her birthday or anniversary,
last night he threw her down the stairs
before commencing to throttle her.
She awoke sore and bruised
but knew he was sorry because—
She received flowers today
it was not mother’s day or a special day,
the nurse in charge put them in a vase
sorry for his wife who slipped against the wall.
Her eyes remained closed while the respirator pulsated
but the nurse knew he love her because—
She received a bouquet today
all her favourite colours of red pink and blue,
along with the wreath placed on her coffin
it was the day of her funeral.
Last week he finally killed her
but the wake knew he loved her because--!
