Flowerbed Dirt

A bit of gossip, here's the scoop
but do not stoop so low, my friend
to spread the dirt upon the wind
A wilted flower cannot grin




  Poor                               Rose                                   Sweet 
  little                              Eloped!                                William
  Violet                       Changed her name                   ran off with
seems awfully blue     But is still the same!            that brown eyed Susan
  Shhhh!                           Shhhh!                                  Shhhh!


    Miss                               Old                                         And
    Holly                              Mari                                       Daisy
hocked her blooms..         got lucky                              lost her scents...
is broke,...oh golly!        found her pot of gold!          She's bloomin' crazy
     Shhh!                           Shhh!                                      Shhh!


Remember......MUMS THE WORD!
