Carnation

I'd rather a carnation be
Bright and cheap and tres jolie
Than be a fragrant rarefied orchid
To be climbed upon by widowed arachnid

Dance of spring will last all night here
Plenty of noise and ice cold beer
My dance card is full with all my friends
Looks like this party never ends

Brightly clad in mating plumes
I'm hittin all the dance hall rooms
At dime a dance I'll last while
Oh honey, love it when you smile


One of you sweet lonely hearts
Might be the one my dance jumpstarts?
And then we'll walk together through
The changing seasons, Me and you
