One Perfect Rose

A single flow'r he sent me, since we met.
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.

.... Dorothy Parker


For those who were trying to guess yesderdays mystery object,

Hmm...not quite the romantic poem it said on the tin ;o) Excellent white rose, though.

looks more like a carnation or peony or something . . must be a very interesting rose

Lovely.
And I never would have guessed the MMO. I tried for hours and couldn't think of what it was.
