Eat a Flower
December 5, 2012
IF YOU WERE TO LICK A LILY
YOU WOULD PLAINLY SEE
THAT IT BLOOMS INSIDE,
YOUR MOUTH IS WIDE,
AND YOUR TONGUE’S STUNG BY A BEE!
IF YOU’D LIKE TO SNIFF A LILAC
THEN YOU’D REALLY KNOW
THAT IT’S IN THE AIR,
YOUR NOSTRILS FLARE,
AND YOUR SMILE IS FORCED TO GROW!
IF YOU’D KINDLY KISS A ROSEBUSH
YOU WOULD SURELY FIND
THAT YOUR LIPS ARE RED,
YOUR MOUTH IS DEAD,
AND YOUR FACE SMELLS TRULY DIVINE!
BUT WHO AM I
TO TELL YOU WHY
YOU SHOULD EAT A FLOWER?

This surely brought a smile to my face. This is a great, witty, well-thought out poem. This is really great. Good job!
