! ! Gertrude Stein Met Marilyn Monroe In Tiffany's

Rating: 4.0


a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose
and a dozen roses ring around a posy -
but a rose is not as rosy as a ring -
for diamonds are a man's best bet;

a rose is just a rose but the future could be rosy -
a diamond is a girl's best bait.
a rose is a rose but eventually goes off;
even love can have a nasty end;

but a man who's had his day can always be disposed of...
while diamonds are a lifetime friend...

I'd rather have the roses, thank you, Michael. Diamonds hold no attraction for this lady. Cute little poem, great title. Love, Fran xxx
