An old onion patch, left over from the season with a left over onion, wilted and sad lay in the bed. A purple pansy started growing next to the onion.
The poem reflects to what happend next.
One Purple Pansy
With its heart shaped head
Overlapping petals
Grew In the onion bed
Tears of burning eyes
There was no pleasant match
Pansy was not happy
In an onion patch
One day a head popped up
Viola was her name
She grew beside Pansy
Their love a public fame
Her fragrant sweet sent
And deep violet gleam
Surrounded Pansy’s garden
With beauty over green
An arm reached from above
Plucked the onion from its life
As Pansy took Viola,
A flower for his wife
They married in the winter
The weather of the cold
To bare colors of their love
Purple, white and gold
In the early spring:
Pansy and Viola
Soon had starters of their own
Little Johnny-Jump-Ups’
Had quickly sprout and grown
