Roses For Pd

Roses are red. Violets are blue, But Violets for you, PD, just won’t do! Roses mean passion, for roses are red, And though I don’t want this to go to your head, PD, you’re sweeter than dozens of roses So those who give violets to you ---- Up their NOSES. A thousand red roses for you. No, a TON, For you are too awesome and way too much fun. I’ll take off the thorns from each rose one by one, And finally when all of my thorn-picking’s done, I’ll wrap them up nicely in big bright bouquets, The fragrance of thousands to last many days! Roses are friendly, but violets are shy. I won’t give violets to just have you cry! Happy Valentine’s Day to my good friend, PD, For your zaniness, wit and your sweet poetry. May you ever remain in this fun tight-knit group, The spice that enhances our Poetry Soup! Written by Andrea Dietrich and Dedicated to PD in honor of Valentine's Day
