• Of course, red roses are the state-

mix them in with a bundle of twigs for
a different look.
• For a quick and sexy dessert, cut

Sad as it seems
I’ll never meet the man of my dreams
Lois, now that I understand
I won’t be stealing your man

And get Luna’s fajitas ‘to go’
I’ll order by the phone
And eat my fajitas alone
