A Florists Ode to Christmas

Just 6 short weeks to Christmas
The Flowers are turning red
The weathers getting frosty
And we want to stay in bed
But the order box is filling up
And the wreaths wont make themselves
So we'll turn the heaters up full blast
And work like Santas elves!

  1. Poetic and witty as well as gorgeous, clever and sharp. How do you do it? Florists - deserve greater recognition in the arts world. They should also warm their petal preening paws with mulled wine, hot chocolate and gooey ginger cake. Customers would be flooding in too ;-) Claire. x

  4. I like your poem...very apt I think! As for Christmas approaching, it's time for me to order one one your beautiful bouquets for my parents - a family tradition now, and I usually hand deliver them but this year I'm on the train on Christmas Eve..don't fancy my and my bouquet's chances of getting to Carlisle in one piece on a packed Virgin train....but then maybe I could try it - at least people would have to get out of my way!
