I’D BUY MY WIFE SOME FLOWERS

For those of you having a hard time trying to decide what to give your sweetheart for Valentine's Day, here are some suggestions and the problems you might encounter with each.  You will have to decide for yourself if any of these suggestions are worth the effort.  Let me know what works for you.

I’d buy my wife some flowers
But she might have allergies
If so she would berate me
And knock me to my knees
And torture me incessantly
Each time she had to sneeze
I’d buy my wife some flowers
But she might have allergies


I’d buy my wife some earrings
But she’d question my intent
She’d think I’m feeling guilty
For someplace that I went
And I know that if I did so
She’d complain of money spent
I’d buy my wife some earrings
But she’d question my intent

I’d buy my wife some clothing
But she’d take it back I’m sure
I’d like her to dress frisky
She dresses more demure
And if I mis-guess sizes
That pain I can’t endure
I’d buy my wife some clothing
But she’d take it back I’m sure


I’d give my wife a diamond
But that’s just a lump of coal
That has been under pressure
In a deep and dark hole
And to give your sweetheart old rocks
She’d think me but a troll
I’d give my wife a diamond
But that’s just a lump of coal


I’d take my wife out dining
But we’d fight about just where
She’d say she can’t eat all of that
We should get something to share
But her tastes and mine are different
I’d find nothing I like there
I’d take my wife out dining
But we’d fight about just where

So I’m left with indecision
On what her gift should be
I’ve got to get her something
Or risk an injury
A card you’d buy from Hallmark
Well, that just isn’t me
So I hope that she will settle
From some heart felt poetry
