Flowers On Sale

 Rose, jasmine, anthurium, carnation and hibiscus 

 A multiplicity of gorgeous flowers

 To the taste of the wealthy,

 Of the opulent gentlemen

 Tulips available only in Five Star Hotels

 Consumed by millionaires

 Who may devour in the most fulgent pollens

 While bobbing on the petals

 The remuneration package

 Negotiable and depending

 On the superficial elegance or

 On the number of petals

 They are just toys,

 To the rapture of their clients

 

Dark blots in these flowers

And lacking more of the inner fragrance

Branded as stray bitches

Disdain and hate left as their badge

And there lies under the very folly,

In the bed of their heart,

The cause, the unknown cause,

That was the titillation

Provoking to be on sale
