Arthur J.L. Salvas
Scarborough, ON
There is sometimes nothing worse
Than a forgotten anniversary.
It’s not too late so don’t worry –
Just hurry!
So for the one whom you adore
Rush out to your local florist.
You’ll be hugged and you’ll be kissed –
Think tryst!
If rose petals you might strew,
Of course resistance will be futile.
She may love your flair and style –
So smile!
