They want me out of the aristocracy
Born a plebeian, I aspire to be a ruler
They cannot stand seeing my cup, any fuller
They come for my henchmen first

A food that few dislike or hate

The Conundrum of Early Roses: Saraband Sonnet

the future, should we bloom or no,
and tempt our own vermillion fate?
We are not winter's afterglow,

consider buildings stack...
