My original reply in 2017:
“Honey, I’m really sorry. You’ve got to understand, in the dark your sister looks a lot like you.”

Sorry, no – I can’t guess what this bouquet symbolizes in the language of flowers.

/// He’s a master at fashioning wood
into objects she’d told him were good.
Drop-leaf table and chest,
spinning wheel and the rest,
but her feelings he’d misunderstood.
/// At her window each morn Szymon had her.
Forced to chat, which just made her feel sadder.
So he stands there today
with a proffered bouquet.
Maja wished he had not built that ladder.
/// Szymon’s sixty, while Maja’s still young.
She has dreams of love. To them she’s clung.
She’s not willing to settle. “I must be on my mettle.
For tomorrow I’ll weaken a rung.”

Large Marge was flattered by the attention, but it would be better if Peter didn’t bring her the flowers that she was allergic to.

Ma’am? Would you like to buy a flower? The night soil collection cart is just a block behind me.

Every time she had a minute to read her kindle someone would interrupt her. The first thing was to get the latch on the window fixed!

Rumpelstiltskin convinces the miller’s daughter that she could spin flowers into straw! Or was it straw into gold. His mind was split over the matter.

Okay mum. Couldn’t find posies. If you show me the rings around your rosies, I’ll strike a match and then we’ll be done with it. Fair enough.

He comes to her window each day/
And he brings her a small bouquet/
And the window is open/
because she is hopin’/
He will climb in and lead her astray..///
She really is not much for looks/And she seems to own one or two books/
And she sometimes writes verse/
(Which is probably worse)/
but she cleans, and she sews, and she cooks..///
Someday soon they will manage to mate../
They’ll commingle their genes to create/
A presence pathetic/
(yet profoundly poetic)../
A perpetual “ward of the state”.

Melinda had asked her dad to pick up flour for her; seems he will not be getting a birthday cake tonight.

The set pieces for Romeo and Juliet were low budget for this production.

Not only do I have to deal with this creepy guy popping into my window, I have this creepy painter barging into my room to paint the scene.
