tangled up in you
Blossoms, they get all the attention. Gaudy, flamboyant buggers, the blossoms, without a thought in their pretty heads. Oh, they’re full of bounce and swagger, and they put on a grand show. But they haven’t any staying power.
Stems, now…there’s your ticket for staying power. Everything depends on the stems. Nothing fancy about them. Plain, dependable, forthright. Always there. Blossoms stand on the shoulders of stems.
Oh it’s true, it’s true, they need each other, the both of them. Without the blossoms on the other end, nobody would buy the stems. Without the stems, the blossoms would just lie there scattered about limply on the table, the wee poseurs. But don’t let yourself be fooled by the blossoms, don’t let them turn your head. Because it all comes down to stems.
