Quaint Roses

Sarah’s ruby lips were all of a quiver when she spotted Ted down on the quay To a platinum blonde he would deliver a gift Sarah is not yet meant to see ‘Quaint Roses’ is Sarah’s favorite perfume she’d seen it listed on Ted’s credit card receipt Sarah’s in a quandary, filled with dread and gloom at seeing her boyfriend’s such covert deceit Sarah’s meeting up with Ted and the boys they’re all planning a trip to Paris in France In walks the blonde with beauty and poise she goes and kisses Ted and his pal Lance! Sarah’s can’t work out what is going on as Lance’s wife has got short brown hair She turns around and sees Ted has gone down on one knee, Sarah’s now fully aware Ted hands Sarah her favorite scent which is tied with an enormous bow and concealed inside this present there’s a ring with diamonds in a row Lance’s wife takes off her blonde wig Sarah’s face turns a deep shade of red Ted’s delighted that Sarah didn’t twig Will she pay penance when they get wed!
