How does your garden grow?

We always go grocery shopping on Fridays, because we are People of Habit. Not "habit", as in blogging regularly, but "habit" in a looser sense.
We go to a succession of stores, depending on the weekly advertisements. We visit a few stores so that Tim can do his shopping, and use his vast selection of coupons. Sometimes he lets me push the cart.
Other times, like this week, I simply sip my Starbuck's and gaze adoringly at him while he does all the work. It is my job to look nice and keep him company.
So, there we were in the meat isle (meat market?)
An elderly lady with a mischevious smile approached me and said,
"My dear, I learned something forty years ago:
There are tulips in the garden and
there are tulips in the park
but the tulips that I like
are the two lips in the dark!"
She sagely patted my arm and moved slowly away. I stood there watching her leave while I laughed out loud. Tim glanced 'round from his steaks to ask, "Did you make a new friend?"
I said, "Yes, I suppose I did. She must have noticed something about the way I look at you." And I told him her little rhyme.
It must be true what they say, that wisdom comes with age, because that lady was right on. Tulips are fantastic!
