Everybody knows
that a pansy's not a rose.
cos a rose grows on a bush
and can prick you very much
while a pansy's on the ground
where the mud is all around
but the pansy has a face
full of sweetness full of grace
and it doesn't shout out loud
doesn't captivate a crowd
like the feted blooming rose
surely everybody knows!
This poem comes about because of the Poetry Matters prompt...."Everybody knows!" what a great prompt...because we all know something!!
