COD: Neglect, I suspect

The flowers you bought me are dead
Petals falling off overblown heads
Too late to follow the advice like I ought to:-
'Please place these in water'

Flip flop

At the slightest glimmer of sun
The sandal appears, unbidden
People wander around in shorts
Revealing things that ought to stay hidden
Visions of yellow-tinged toenails
Or the elegant sock/sandal combination
Make me long for the return of wet autumn
And the wellington boot domination

With Sympathy

Why kill flowers to symbolise death
and send them in a wreath?
