The Flowers' Ally

Alamandas are green, Violets are purple, Holly-hocks are pink, Mari-golds are yellow, Sun flowers,yellow too, all in beautiful colours of nature. There goes the wasp out to suck up the nectar. The caterpillar clench on beneath,in its cocoon, in a bid to mature. Ranging hovering flies perch on to suck up juice. The social insects, termites eat up the stems as lunch. Sly fox walk by with its razor sharp teeth, bite out the petals. Billy goat bleats for joy seeing the mari-golds, as its dinner is sure. And the badly labelled of all creatures,man, in awe at the sight of the sumptuous red rose. He uproots but tends in a garden. He plucks but dishes out as a show of love.
