How To Express Love
Should I buy you a novel perfume?
Woody and mysteriously macho
Then choke on its lingering fumes
Ceaselessly, my sneezes will echo
Should I bake you a cake?
Recipe? Sugar, flour, vanilla, raisins?
My weary head starts to ache
Pondering on the ledge of kitchen basin
Should I exfoliate, prune and preen?
In an attempt to turn back the clocks
Brush and tease my hair to sheen
But wont' fallen strands stick to your socks
Guess, I won’t try anything special on Valentine
Shrug it off and retire soon as the clock strikes nine
