Delicate Flowers

All flowers have feelings
In actual fact
It takes lots of loving 
To keep them intact
They need looking after
With blood sweat and toil
And water and feeding
Improving the soil
Keep out the weeds
That will want to attack
Kill off the flies
Either white or the black
Talk to them daily
Play them some sounds
See them improve
Both in leaps and in bounds
Be kind to your flowers
Try not to neglect
Be nice to your flowers
And you’ll gain their respect
