The Flowers

You can walk on the grass

You can climb in the trees

But don't mess with the flowers

You'll get stung by the bees.

Hi Lenna, I was away for a while, but back now, and thank you for commenting on our collaboration :) I love your small poem, it made me smile, and yes, it's a fine metaphor for so much in life.

Thank You Heidi. Glad you like it. I know the full meaning isn't apparent to everyone, but it made me smile too, when it popped into my head. I hope you are enjoying the summer !
