He liked a certain lady.
He continually brought her flowers.
But did not win the lady's favour.
Why would he not,
With a pretty bouquet
Win the lady's favour?
The lady enjoyed,
The lady was thankful,
But bouquets of roses
Were not to her liking.
Lilies and daisies
Gardenias even.
These spoke love
to the lady's heart.
The man would not listen.
The man did not agree.
Roses were love,
That's all they could be.
The lady determined,
the man oft did not listen.
So he was left far behind
For a man who WOULD listen.
