The Five Dollar Rose



At the rate of sixty bucks a dozen

It's a good bet we will not just butt in

Handing out those roses to many ...

Just one special someone (certainly)



The one who makes your heart flutter

The one with whom you don't stutter

The one who makes you feel warm inside

The one whose love you taste in a tide



This is the lady who deserves those roses

For she has tickled your fancy and poses

And has shared with you all she is ...

Which you've returned, making sweet bliss



- Tristram
