Steps

Poem Lionel Derbyshire To find a patch of earth And work it sweatly into Solid fertile soil Like finding a girl Richly you plant a rose For her a love rose The one you love You would feed and Water it dearly Like hugs for the one you love Until you see A bunch of lovely Scarlet roses rambling free Lovely and lively like her. When you pick a rose It will surely stab you Or shall I write Prick and leave you Like she did.
