You want to requite my love;

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.
