The Romance of Serpents (Illustrated)
A crush, or perhaps unrequited love, is always best seen from an outside perspective. - Amethystine admires an alluring anaconda from afar! - Poem
**The Romance of Serpents - by Amethystine, the Hopeless Romantic
~OR~
Amethystine's Conversation With the Guy At the Flower Shop, Prior to Attempting to Break the Ice With Marie**
-
_"She'sss an absolute vision in blue.
For her, there'sss nothing I wouldn't do!"
>
"I hear that sort of thing all the time,
and quite often, I hear it in rhyme.
So, forgive me, Mister Amethystine,
but please be mindful of the forming line."
<
"You don't understand, she'sss perfect!
My very heart, she doth infect!
I need a bouquet that will this, reflect!
For my existence, she hath no suspect."
>
"Whoa whoa whoa, calm down there, you serpentine Shakespeare..
you're telling me, to her, you have yet to appear?
I thought that you two were true lovers,
that you two'd been.. 'under the covers'.
But you're telling me that this girl is some crush..
that you've been peeping at from the underbrush?"
<
"She's not just 'sssome girl', she's a perfect specimen of graceful looping!
But, uh, yeah.. I have to admit that, around her, I have been snooping..
Her looks: indescribably unique and beautiful,
into a false sense of security, they could lull~"
>
"You realize the futility of continuing to speak,
since you just said, for this girl, mere mortal words would be too meek?
In any case, here's what I think:
too much weight will cause this to sink.
You asked for a dozen red roses,
but a hard question, that imposes--
Into her face, you'll just thrust,
a potent symbol of lust!
A crimson query craving carnal coupling,
that's what she'll see, if you do this dumb rose thing."
<
"I had no idea, but I see what you mean..
is there anything else that would come off more.. clean?"
>
"I think I know just what will do!
You _did_ say that this girl was blue?
I propose you purchase a single Blue Bell,
a simple flower with a lot less to tell.
A gesture with no presumption, just hope.
All you can do is pray she won't say 'Nope!'"
<
"Alright my good sir, I'll take your advice.
I won't stop you from reducing my order's overall price!"_
