There is a rose in Texas, with a scent above the rest
The lovely rose of Texas is the flower we love the best
I want to go to Texas so that I can pluck this rose
And the lone star state of Texas is the only place it grows
The rose we know as Tory is the rose we love to see
The perfect rose called Tory is the rose of poetry
In the lone-star State of Texas, this perfect flower grows
It is only down in Texas where you'll find the Tory rose
The Rose that blooms in Texas where it grows fair and sweet
Is the Rose we know as Tory with the beauty that's complete
The lone star State of Texas has to love its perfect Rose
Send all your love to Texas where this perfect flower grows
The lovely rose called Tory, has a fight upon her hands
But anything attacks her and she'll fight it where she stands
I love that Rose from Texas, so I want to help her fight
So send all your love to Tory, and she'll win the fight each night

Wonderfully done my friend. Tory read this to me over the phone last night while I was at work, well actually, she sang it to me. What a beautiful piece of work and dedication to her. She was just gushing all about it.

Damn it, now I have the sound of Stan Freberg echoing in my mind!
Please, I beg you, do not write poems to ladies with the verb "pluck" it them - you know what people are like!
Thanks for the poem to my "Something Unique".
Here come the bunnies.

Comparing Tory to a Rose is simply beautiful! I really like this poem and I know she will too. You have been a good friend to us both and I want to thank you for that Jeff. You are a great guy and a world class poet.
Love,
