The Rose got its Rose...

21-JUL-2007

Once in a garden on a olden morn..
where all plants did beautifully adorn..

burgeoned out a sapling-strange...
having thorns, neither beautiful nor vain..

none came forth to welcome; for amity..
all they could spare was mercy, pity..

conceited they, within their clique..
admired not the different... the oblique....

then came on The Lady of Spring..
to bestow on all, flowers she did bring..

distributed She them amongst all..
keeping yet the most beautiful till fall..

wanted She to bestow it on "worthy"..
one more amicable, amiable and earthy..

thus the Rose got its rose....
to charm them all who'd go close!!
