I’ve sipped my tea then let it fester
Now I search in vain for a wrigleys extra
The seminars over but I’m stuck to my seat
Preferring death to the “meet and greet”
Just how does ‘one’ learn to talk shop
stop...(look, listen)
then thoughtfully digest?
Press the flesh
feign genuine interest
On a range of subjects I loathe and detest
Sparkle (effervesce)
Then work the room like a stale breath sex pest
You’re oozing B eau as you move through the room
Your Pink shirt and pin stripes pre-ordained in the womb
Your hairline
your i-phone
your chin like a shoe
Still when I grow up I’d like to be you
Roses for you!
**
petals all over
sexy, sexy as can be
press the flesh tonight
**
my roses are black,
did I forget the water
dry flower bed!!
**
my roses are red,
give me a kiss, sweet as you
potion pucker lips
**
flowers for the dead
roses running through my head
zombies are blue.
**
ouch! ouch! prickly thorns
rose blood, falling all around,
snake under my bed
**
I did not mean it
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
here have 2 roses
**
baby bash, ice cream
only In America
roses in demand
