You Want To Requite My Love;

You want to requite my love; You already have with a ring And many years of life So this I command you to bring: A bouquet of chocolate flowers Each with a nice, dark button Comparable to your eyes And a fragrance as divine. Put it together with care – Tape it inconspicuously – Present it when I’m caught unawares And you have hours to give me. Such a bouquet – bright and simple – As native as the mourning dove – Would be a challenge worthwhile Your time and your love.

Did you know that chocolate flowers are a real thing here in the Sonoran Desert? I see them in xeriscapes sometimes.
