I wanted to send you roses br but I haven't a penny to my name. br I wanted to send you a card or letter br but the postman never came. br br I wanted to call you on the phone br but everytime that I did. br Your line seemed always busy br so I hope you can forgive. br br I wanted to bake you a cake br and send it so brightly wrapped. br But all I had in my cabinets dear br was a box of poison for the rats! br br I wanted to make you a sweater br of the finest quality of yarns. br But everytime I went to knit it br I got the sharpest pains running down my arms! br br I wanted to so many times to tell you all of this br but everytime I write it down. br I seem to always misplace my list.
