Butterflies

Thorntons’ Continentals and Shalimar
Are always acceptable.

And bracelets and sexy lingerie
On Christmas Day
Show that you care.

But if you want to give me butterflies……….

Hug me
when I moan about unmatching socks.

Bother to make me smile
when I’m pouring bleach down the loo.

Buy me M and S knickers
That fit…..size 14.

And congratulate me when I tell you
How much I’ve saved at the Sales.

Very nice poem, short, sweet, to the point, and most importantly well written.
