A THORNY PROBLEM
Sure I know what day it is. It’s Thursday.
What else??…. Well, it’s the 14th.
Annnd…. What? Valentine’s Day??! Damn! How can it be Valentine’s Day already? I just paid off the Christmas bills.
A Rose by any other name, is going to be a little prickly, if I don’t get her something. I’ll bet the chocolates and flowers are all sold out by the time I get off work. What to do??
Wait! That pretentious boutique in the mall has glass roses. A half dozen of them aren’t much more expensive than six real ones.
“Love ya, Honeybun!”
(Saved!)

Perhaps spray them with a rose-scented ‘perfume.’ My wife loves roses – grows them outside, but can’t have them in the house, because she’s allergic to them. 😳

Time flies when you are having fun? Maybe, and maybe not. Glass roses last until they are shattered.

They’re for people with social ambitions, but no real life. Children and pets may affect the longevity. In my house, with three cats, and two Scotty puppies…. they might last the afternoon. 😳

Oh, no shame this time. He got in under the “Husbands Will Be Blamed” wire. He’ll probably regard them like a Nobel Prize. 😉

Quick thinking. They’ll also last longer than real flowers.
