Roses are Red,
Violets are blue,
I didn’t get her either,
So tonight I am screwed.
But not in the good way,
I Should have thought ahead.
So because I’m thoughtless,
I’ll spend the night in the shed.
I didn’t get flowers
I really did try
It just didn’t work out
But I’ll tell you why
I bought some new shoes
Boys size eight
I paid some bills
Even the ones that were late.
I did some shopping
For milk and bread
Was about to buy a cake
But I thought instead
I’ll fill up the tank
In the car and the Van
And then, after that
I started my plan
To pick up your flowers
In to the florist I stride
I hand over my Visa
My card is denied
There are no flowers
I got something better instead
Three happy children
All healthy and fed.
I promise you though
You will be treated like a lady
Because three days from now
Friday, is payday.
