The Flower

With colors so fresh 
and fragrance galore 
need I say 
any more? 

A flower is 
a happy fella 
blooming red, 
pink and yella 

Bees do come 
for nectar drinks 
nobody says 
that flowers stink 

Pick them here 
pick them there 
stick one in 
your tangled hair 

The petals reach 
out to say 
have a smile 
on me today! 

Green leaves grow 
as good leaves do 
hoping maybe 
to hug you. 

Some climb high 
others, low 
there's so many 
ways to grow 

A little rain 
and gold sunlight 
the stem will grow 
straight upright 

Nevermind 
if there's a thorn 
just don't pick that one 
on this pretty morn' 

Flowers bloom 
with honest pleasure 
one of earth's 
finest treasures 

If their pollen 
makes you sneeze 
just forgive them 
if you please 

They don't mean 
to bother you 
they just be tryin' 
to reproduce 

And if you see 
a dandelion 
you can eat it 
ever tried one?
