I managed to miss this poem with no effort at all - regrets for not showing up at the POTD party, but I'm happy for you. I was giggling when I started to type and I still am. This is a gem. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Dearest Victor , you'll outlive us all with a great sense of humour. Not the fragrance sending you off before your time? But fine, no flowers—just a silent army of white orchids paid in full and scent-free. Congratulations on your great POTD...Hugs.
