She had begun to doubt his love,
He often was away,
But, imagine her surprise today,
When she received a huge bouquet!
The fragrance of the roses,
Spread throughout the room,
But when her finger touched a thorn,
That's when she met her doom!
Her last thought was that her love was a forensic toxicologist.

I haven't gotten flowers in an eternity...guess nobody loves me! Or, should I say, nobody hates me!

Now that is a brilliant statement. I love roses so a few thorns are well worth the price for the beauty and scent of those flowers.

I am so glad you liked my poem. I have a good friend in Switzerland who is forensic pathologist. I thought he might get a kick out of it.

I can't always write silly, sweet poetry. I do have a sinister spot in the far reaches of my mind!

I always tell people - no flowers at my funeral, I want them while I'm alive to enjoy them. I usually have to buy them for myself!!
