Free Cee Mental Institutions Should Plant Flowers To Pass the Hours

MENTAL INSTITUTIONS SHOULD PLANT FLOWERS TO PASS THE HOURS

Dead daisies, 
deceased dandelions 
torched tulips birthed to be torn and tragically tormented
And those daisies and dandelions died due to being deemed demented 

Maples were made miserable, 
evergreens were ever sad, 
and fir trees were forced to become forlorn
Those evergreens and firs were sorrowful for all of them having been born

Morning glories are in mourning, 
daffodils are decaying and decrying the dawning 
and chrysanthemums were cruelly created to cry 

lovely lilies were living a life to lament
As violets vied with violence, 
and roses were required to repent

Forget-me-nots were forgotten, 
hydrangeas weren’t high on danger 
as junipers jousted with an unjust June

Lilacs lied, 
petunias pouted 
while marigolds were made mad due to the 
moon

The sage were relegated to rage, 
as a carnation prayed for an alternate  incarnation  
and the wisteria suffered hysteria because of insipid information
The iris had a virus
Chrysanthemums went crazy
Marigolds went mad
While wisteria went wild

And for this garden’s ailments there is no sensible solution
Except to send all the plants and trees to an orna-mental institution
