Flowers

Flowers

It’s true that flowers are very nice
even today if we ignore their price
their colours enhance both our dating and leisure
and sniffing their bouquet gives us much pleasure.

But I’m glad that our roles will never reverse
for I cannot forget the fact most perverse
that these beautiful blossoms with their colours and regalia
for the plants in reality they’re really genitalia!
