Thanks to a long awaited, long overdue house renovation project....I FINALLY, after months and months of searching, I found a copy of the Christmas Poem for Florists that I have been hunting for.
Yes, in another posting I'll be showing you before and after pictures of my house remodel project.
Yes, I know this is the Easter Season.....the next holiday is Mother's Day, then summer wedding season, then after the fall holidays we are back at Christmas.
So, Consider this an Early Christmas Present to my florist friends.

A Florist's Christmas Carol
by Rosalyn Carren of Carren's Florist

---------------------
T'is the eve before Christmas and all through the flower shop,
The designers are groaning and ready to drop.
The designers are groaning and ready to drop.
Through the front door.....come last minute buyers,
At the back door, delivery trucks and seven flat tires.
At the back door, delivery trucks and seven flat tires.
While Customers plead for carnations - all red,
The sound of the telephones
rings in our ears.
The sound of the telephones
rings in our ears.
"Yes Ma'am, we deliver, but you've called rather late,
To drape long needle pine on an eighty foot gate."
To drape long needle pine on an eighty foot gate."
"Yes sir, Your flowers are all on their way,
Ans we promise they'll get there before Christmas Day.
Ans we promise they'll get there before Christmas Day.
As the ring of the telephone finally is hushed, and we've replaced the plant, the delivery man crushed.
The bookeeper suffers,
She can't read our writing,
The sweet thoughts of slow summer, sure are inviting.
She can't read our writing,
The sweet thoughts of slow summer, sure are inviting.
After tagging the bouquet
For the Sander's Aunt Molly,
And we;ve rescued a youngster
from eating the holly.
For the Sander's Aunt Molly,
And we;ve rescued a youngster
from eating the holly.
We lock the front door
After goodbyes are said,
Two poinsettias are left,
One is pink,
One is Dead.
After goodbyes are said,
Two poinsettias are left,
One is pink,
One is Dead.
Then we thank our Good Friend,
Who has shown us the way,
Through yet another fine year,
To this beautiful day.
Who has shown us the way,
Through yet another fine year,
To this beautiful day.
And all the small troubles
Fade out in a hurry,
We realize again,
There was no need to worry
Fade out in a hurry,
We realize again,
There was no need to worry
For our blessings are many,
and complaints are few
and complaints are few
Merry Christmas to all,
and to all a "GOOD NIGHT" !!!
and to all a "GOOD NIGHT" !!!
