Four Roses For My Baby

Two whisky for my dinner Three Guinness for my gold Four roses for my baby As i sit here growing old Some songs for the silver A singers for the song One hand for applause And a softly sing-along Four roses for my baby And that was all she got To tell her who I am And to tell her what i'm not I will send a letter To tell her where I am If I find the money I will send a telegram A Guinness for my morning Some whisky for my night Four roses for my baby To make my future bright

Thank you all for nice comments! In fact: Many of my poems is written as a song. I write the lyrics for a local rock and roll band. But this one hasn't got a melody yet.

the flow of it reminds me of Blue Suede Shoes in fact I could hear the tune in my head when I read it - this would make a lovely song too. Hugs Jan xxx

This flows like a well sung song, I found this very appealing to read, a pleasure.
