George Stanworth Poet Rhyme

I Tried To Buy You Flowers

I tried to buy you lilies
but I couldn't see it through,
so I ran off to Ann Summers
for a naughty toy or two.

I tried to buy you orchids
but I felt a little shy,
so left to buy some Vaseline,
and products from KY.

I tried to buy you daisies
but I came out in a rash,
so ran off to the sex shop
for a little 'po*no' stash.

I tried to buy you roses
but I blushed and went bright red,
so I rushed off to the chemist
for some Durex packs instead.

I tried to buy you flowers
but I never had much luck.
At least I've got the other things,
if we want to have a ...

flipping good night in.
