The Man Who Loved Pink
.
His wife wants some black lingerie.
He'll really surprise her today.
Hot pink is his fav'rite.
Oh, how he does sav'r it.
He struts in his bright negligee!
She's shocked when she sees him this way.
She screams, "What a Valentine's Day!
I wanted red roses,
but here my man poses
and prances. This is NOT OKAY!"
She sniffles and gives him a box.
Inside are some black boots and socks.
He says, "Black and pink
look kinky, I think!
Oh, thanks, Dear. This gift really rocks."
He does have some roses for her.
Bynow everything is a blur.
"Pink roses," she mumbles.
Toward bed she now stumbles.
He says, "Wait. I bought you a fur!"
"It's pink," she responds. "I'm amazed!"
Her husband is smiling, unfazed.
"I dyed it for you.
Don't you love this hue?"
She stares at him, totally dazed.
She tells him, "I have to lie down."
He says, "Say good-bye to that frown.
I've fixed up our room
and banished the gloom.
For us, no more drab beige and brown!"
She enters the room feeling weak
and turns on the light for a peek.
She screams when she sees
bright pink; then she flees.
For days she's unable to speak.
