Sunny flower
If you could be a flower of perfect symmetry,
If you could choose from rainbow hues,
Which one would you be?
I would be a rose, elegantly attired,
With sweet perfume, forever June,
Lovingly admired.
But I’m a dandelion, short and fat and sunny,
Happy to shine at the end of this rhyme
Until there comes a bunny.
