Hoping For Roses

Sue was hoping for red roses tonight
It's Valentines, he better get it right
Been dating him awhile
Thinks he's pure class with style
Until he brought fake violets in white

Tania, I love your limerick. Regrettably, she did not receive what she deserved. Bringing false flowers implies that he, too, is maybe a forger. Happy Valentine's Day, and thank you for reading and commenting on my poetry.
