Delores From Florence, by Robin Aigner

Delores from Florence
Was well on the way
To a headache of seismic proportions that day
For the girl had too many lovers
Cause she was “that way”

From Minsk to Milan and then back to Bombay
Delores the florist had a beau in each place
But travel is wearisome, when you’re in search
of your sea legs

Ayayay…

Nary a raincloud or storm could be seen
For days or for miles
The sun had a way of appearing for her
Even in the evening time
She spoke soft and sweetly through too many
teeth
Hid in a half-crooked smile
Delores the florist from Florence for whom they
all pined

The captain was frantic from guiding her trips
On ships that he’d pirate from 3 am slips
To service the rose-smelling girl w/ the
swayingest hips

The flowers in Florence were in a quite a state
Their keeper was negligent and far away
They lapped up the midst and hungrily
swallowed the rain…

Ayayay…

Nary a raincloud or storm could be seen
For days or for miles
The sun had a way of appearing for her
Even in the evening time
She spoke soft and sweetly through too many
teeth
Hid in a half-crooked smile
Delores the florist from Florence for whom they
all pined

The dizzying pace, was good for no one
All parties involved were coming undone
A life of this nature does little in keeping one

young

The captain, the florist agreed then and there
An unlikely marriage would unite the pair
Roses and posies for the young and the old
The far and the near, in between and
every…where….!

Ayayay…

Nary a raincloud or storm could be seen
For days or for miles
The sun had a way of appearing for her
Even in the evening time
She spoke soft and sweetly through too many
teeth
Hid in a half-crooked smile
Delores the florist from Florence for whom they
all pined
