You want to requite my love;
You already have with a ring
And many years of life
So this I command you to bring:
A bouquet of chocolate flowers -
Each with a nice, dark button
Comparable to your eyes -
And a fragrance as divine.
Put it together with care -
Tape it inconspicuously -
Present it when I’m caught unawares
And you have hours to give me.
Such a bouquet - bright and simple -
As native as the mourning dove -
Would be a challenge worthwhile
Your time and your love.
