Bloomers |
Fine English rose in rich soil she grows |
Old walls shield her from the wind that blows |
Resulting cultivation supplied with every need |
Seeking for a weed that’s of the right seed |
Proud purple thistle it’s wiser not to pluck |
Growing where she can, she never waits for luck |
Brought up in a hard school thistle down the wind |
Raised on blunt words more sinned against than sinned |
Stinking plants in the hedgerows |
With grim grit will flourish |
While nicely bred orchids |
Wilt in the front window florist |
But dark mother earth |
Will catch them all up |
And trample them back into the forest |
The vamp of vegtation the scarlet poppy flirts |
Laughs as she dancs flaunting flimsy skirts |
Tempting the senses with her milk white juice |
Sensual opium determined to seduce |
Independent wallflower careered through her youth |
And caught unawares she turns to face the truth |
Laughs at the battle of the sexes, but listens for the sound |
Of strife and separation to declare the second round |
Stinking plants in the hedgerows |
With grim grit will flourish |
While nicely bred orchids |
Wilt in the front window florist |
But dark mother earth |
Will catch them all up |
And trample them back into the forest |
