To My Affinity From One Who Has No Bow

To My Affinity From One Who Has No Bow
The humor in this postcard is dependent, of course, upon the fact that "beau"--a boyfriend or sweetheart--is pronounced the same as "bow."

To My Affinity From One Who Has No Bow

If of me you sometimes think,
send to me a bow of pink.

If for me your love is right,
send to me a bow of white.

If for me your love is true,
send to me a bow of blue.

If for me your love is dead,
send to me a bow of red.

If for me your love is keen,
send to me a bow of green.

If you have another miss,
send to me a bow like this.
