Dorothy Parker:
"One Perfect Rose"
All tenderly his messenger he chose;
Deep-hearted, pure, with scented dew still wet--
One perfect rose.
I knew the language of the floweret;
"My fragile leaves," it said, "his heart enclose."
Love long has taken for his amulet
One perfect rose.
Why is it no one ever sent me yet
One perfect limousine, do you suppose?
Ah no, it's always just my luck to get
One perfect rose.

I do love Dorothy Parker. Her humor is akin to mine although I am not so good at expressing it.

Happy valentines day Vicki and John. Have a romantic and loving day.
Great question to be asked. A perfect rose is wonderful but maybe there is more.
I'll take the rose over the limo any day.
