I Am a Rafflesia Flower

My little grandson is sincere. He tells of me: “Grandpa stinks!”; He tells of me; “Grandpa’s belly is big!”; “He looks like Santa Claus with his paunch!”; “And stinks too, he smells bad!”. So, since he is sincere, I have no choice. As a flower, I am the huge Rafflesia, The largest flower in the world, Which stinks too of rotten fish, Nauseating and large as me! But Rafflesia is beautiful to see! Rafflesia Arnoldii A rare, parasitic, rootless and leafless plant, Rafflesia arnoldii has the largest known flower in the world.

oh Mario, this was funny. I only put it lower because you were not spelling beautiful correctly. Also, this does not seem like free verse to me. Anyway, it is a real treat to read it. Congrats in my contest.
