Valentine Advice

Flowers – pretty flowers
Some women love the thought
Ones that you might pick yourself
Or even ones you bought
But some women feel flowers
Too quickly fade and die
Then equate that to their love life
Check with her before you buy

And really how much candy
Should you really give someone
Enough to say “I love you”
And maybe get some clothes undone
But not so much she asks you flat
“Do you think these pants make my butt look fat?”
So if your loved one is prone
To ask that very question
Maybe you should drop the sweets
And take my next suggestion

Just tell her that you love her
No more – and God, no less
Tell her that of all you’ve known
She really tops the rest
Tell her that you’ll be there
Whenever she needs you
Be forthright and be honest
That’s all you really have to do
And if you can do it
From time to time
In sweetly worded
Metered rhyme
You’ll find that most girls
Just love a poet
It worked for me
And now you know it

The last verse sure appeals to me Mike; any girl would treasure what you say and I guess the last two lines are a witness ! :)

Thank you for showing me my mistakes. I got caught up in the note and forgot to proof read. Now, let me read this poem and see if I can say something worthwhile. Well, I've gotta say, you have a way with clever rhyming words. It's nice to know you try to show it's not all for the birds.
