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.
