I thought of many ways to try and explain the problem with the poetry which accompanied the flowers, but really the best way is simply to reproduce it. So, here for your reading pleasure are the poems intended to woo me. I have repeated them word for word, letter for letter, apostrophe for apostrophe. If you're really lucky, one day I'll scan in the drawings too...
| Poem 1 | |

| Eleanor, | |
| There once was a girl called Eleanor | |
| This bloke just loved the smell of her. | No, no, no, no, no. "Romantic" poetry and the word smell just do not go together. |
| The other day, I wish I could say, | But I wish you wouldn't. |
| I fancy you rotten, I'm tellin' ya. | Oh lucky me. |
|
Love The Tuesday Night guy. |

| My Sweetheart Eleanor | Somewhat presumptuous I think. |
| These flowers are straight from my heart | |
| For someone who is exceedingly smart | |
| I want you so much. Your face I could touch | Oh no you can't |
| I wish we weren't always apart | |
Love Mr. Tuesday Night guy | Oh, so he's a Mr now. |

| My Sweetheart Eleanor | |
| Now that I'm running out of money, | By my calculations that means he only had £1. |
| Tell me, will you be my honey, | |
| For this is the last time I'll be calling, | Thank God! |
| So I'll want an answer tomorrow morning. | I didn't see him the next morning. Maybe he changed his mind. |
Now here's a clue as to who I am, | |
| I'm tall, dark 'N handsome, without a spam, | A complete lie, apart from not having any compressed meat products. |
| My hair is short and doesn't curl, | |
| - So come on Eleanor, be my girl | I don't think so |
From Mr. Tuesday Night Guy |

| Eleanor. | |
| Even though I know I shouldn't, | Yes, you really shouldn't. |
| And, I also said I wouldn't, | |
| Send you flowers, fresh & bright, | Erm, not all that fresh actually, if you recall. |
| But what the hell it's Tuesday Night. | Ooh how outrageous and spontaneous of him. |
I don't want you to get upset | I wouldn't say upset. More hysterical really. |
| For, whom I'am I soon will let, | What's with the apostrophe? |
| You know who I am, you get | Okay, now I'm really lost |
| I love you dearly, come to me. | What, did nothing rhyme with get? |
Love from The Tuesday Night Guy | |
