Buy me a red rose
BY ANDREW NTCHINDI JERE
Buy me a red rose
Because I have a nose
To try to smell it
Towards knowing if it is love fit
Buy me a love card sized for my pockets
Because I have eyes in my eye sockets
To try to read its’ colours and words loudly
Towards knowing if it is love lovely
Buy me a massive song of love
Because I have ears; sharper than those of a dove
To try to listen to the song
Towards knowing if it is love strong
Buy me a love poem in audio version
Because I have ears in my body division
To try to listen to its’ content
Towards knowing if it is love potent
