I Am a Rafflesia Flower
My little grandson is sincere.
He tells of me: “Grandpa stinks!”;
He tells of me; “Grandpa’s belly is big!”;
“He looks like Santa Claus with his paunch!”;
“And stinks too, he smells bad!”.
So, since he is sincere, I have no choice.
As a flower, I am the huge Rafflesia,
The largest flower in the world,
Which stinks too of rotten fish,
Nauseating and large as me!
But Rafflesia is beautiful to see!
Rafflesia Arnoldii
A rare, parasitic, rootless and leafless plant, Rafflesia arnoldii has the largest known flower in the world.
