Can you sell me that flower, please <br />I'm trying to impress <br />a certain lady-friend putting my love <br />to the test <br />A rose would look perfect <br />with her sweet ruffled dress <br /> <br />Yes, that flower is expensive <br />however my love is quite intensive <br />even if it means paradise lost <br />I'll pay the price, no matter the cost <br /> <br />My watch? Oh yes, I'm certainly proud <br />it's antique, but otherwise very sound <br />it was given to me by a dear friend of mine <br />hoping it would help pass the time <br /> <br />Ah, I see you mean to trade <br />that rose for a watch foreign made <br />You want me to give something of mine <br />worth as much to me as that flower <br />means to you <br /> <br />Thank you, sir, for showing me <br />to receive, one must give equally <br />I think I said from the start <br />for her love I'd do my part <br />But, oh, look now at the time <br />I don't mean to be unkind <br /> <br />Sir, I can't see that pendant fully in the light <br />There's a rose in the way now blocking my sight <br />Can you sell me that pendant, please <br />I'm trying to impress <br />a certain lady-friend putting my resolve <br />to the test<br /><br />Kevin Howell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/flower-please/
