Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

Rose's Thorns - a Response To Belle Bellevue's 'Thorn Rose'

Rose's thorns scare admirers away
There's not much a poor flower can say
   Her skin is so prickly
   It makes suitors sickly
So she shows them her petals ~ Come play!

Lindsay Laurie May 12, 2021 at 4:23 PM Hello Gershon ... if a rose thorn puts anyone off the petals and aroma; try picking the fruit on a prickly pear - thank you Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf May 12, 2021 at 5:53 PM I think I'll let someone else try that prickly pear first, if you don't mind, Lindsay. :) gw

Beryl Edmonds May 11, 2021 at 4:48 PM Brilliant… When Rose puts her soft petals on display - Admirers come by every single day - To caress her fine curves - Boy, have they got a nerve - One shot from her thorn bot, they're in decay… Belle Gershon Wolf May 11, 2021 at 5:53 PM You should post your super comment as a response to a response to a response. ~ Responde sil vous plait
