Silver – Gold – Diamonds
Gold is silence, silver speech, they say
Chains and bracelets plated to array
A lady’s wrist and décolleté
So buy her both for Christmas and her birthday
Before she becomes another lover’s prey
All that glitters is not gold
But before you are oblivious and old
And all your property and houses sold
Buy her a ring, be bold
She will feel flattered and cajoled
They say that diamonds are forever
Those gems formed by heat and pressure
Before she gets some guy to give her pleasure
More able, beautiful and clever
Buy her a precious stone so she won’t sever
It will not be a vain endeavour
