Sunflowers,

sunflowers,

a true summer beauty,

a highlight

of every year

,

they conjure pictures

as a dream

of cooking oil

& margarine,

stone cottage gardens

& of course,

severed ears

…

Say it with flowers

,

say it with flowers

.

As it seems to take the edge

off bomb scares & death threats

,

& can buy valuable time

with nasty bad debts

(…Just the one leg…)

…

Say it with flowers

,

say it with flowers

.

They prettify all words

even murderer & scum

,

& phrases like fuck off

& rot in hell mum

…

So say it with flowers

,

go on

…
