Pretty Yellow Tulips

The pretty yellow tulips stood up firm and straight My wife not home from work yet I could hardly wait... She came downstairs too slowly her face all in a frown The pretty tulips drooped, she said ~ as the sun sank quickly down

You should have taken a photo, Gershon! It's the thought that counts.

Now why didn't I think of taking a photo?! --- Ah, those flowers would have drooped right as I aimed the camera, no doubt! Thanks, Line. Best wishes, Gershon
