The idea worked long ago; it doesn’t now.
Tied to the tree is a paper flower,drooping in the rains,’unsung.’

 

Hoisting solitary above the wall

Bloomed the garden’s best

A white to fairy pink it turned

As the day progressed.

 

It caught the morning walker’s eye

Oh he knew the trick

He yanked a flower everyday

With his crafty stick.

 

I couldn’t go in hot pursuit

At that early hour

It wouldn’t bespeak well perhaps

To chase after a flower.

 

A paper napkin flower one day

To the stem I wound

A twin akin so it was

A semblance profound!

 

And next day of the very flower

I was bereft

Delighted I was as never before

No, never for a theft.

 

The man has changed his glasses for sure

For his unusual blunder

How we felt were we denied

Our dignified possession I wonder.
