A Lovely Life (Book of Poetry)

9. A Rose Bush Day

Oh, snap, here comes jack, do I attract that -

Why is this fat cat underneath me and spat

There goes a rat, around my butt it sat

Water me please I'm thirsty look at me

Look at my leaves, where is the rain - Help. Please.

Oh gosh- comes the bees sniffing my petals

Ruffling my leaves, these bees being thieves

My nectar adored, you can not have MORE

Making honey for store, Shoo away now you go

I don't adore your persistence anymore

Hello hummingbird - you looking at me

"How you do Ms. Rose, I'm homeless you see"

I would like to rest my head on your branch

A car zipped by and the hummingbird it snatched.
