A dozen of the longest stem red roses I could find For no expense was too divine For all the love I had to expose So immense and eternal as the single red rose When the clerk smiled her kindly approval I was imagining her naked in my pool Seeing her lovely curves and assets too I was thinking of how a new romance to brew She asked me if I had any other purchase or wishes Taken aback I caught my composure I smiled and said the roses twelve will do me over She wrapped them up in pretty pink paper You sure nothing else to go with that? I thought why yes, as I adjusted my top hat Give me 12 cards of those over there That say your the one and only ….with such poetic flair After that, I do confess In the shop of flowers so sweet and nice Was the sound of dead air, you could hear the mice As it was so so suddenly cold as ice

Thanks, I actually took a joke someone told me and turned it into a poem, the photos I hope counter the poem, I cant handle more than one women, never mind twelve! :)

Very subtle transition at the end, from the creepier side of things. Maybe I'm going crazy but it made me thing of the commercial aspect of Valentine's day, and how at times, it can seem a bit like a facade (wrapped in pretty pink paper). Again ... excellent job on the twist like your burning poem. Perhaps if you keep this up, I will learn to expect the coming twist and then we will all have to ask ourselves ... is it still a surprise? LOL.
