The Roses Ain'T Red

I'm no dead
So I could

Fly to the moon
Singing some funny tune
With White ribbon in my head
And broad smile on my face
Hanging on a shoelace
Drowning in shiny lagoon

I could...
But I can't
- Why?

The roses ain't red!

LOL sounds like the start of a good childrens book..I think you want [I'm not dead/so I could/fly to the moon/singing some funny tune/with white ribbons on my head/ and a broad smile on my face/while hanging on a shoelace/or drown in a shiny lagoon./I could/but I can't/why?] the last line and the title ..I have NO clue..hmmm unless this is an Alice reference to the Red Queen the Rose Queen and OFF with their heads??? Congrad's on your win. Light & Love
