ROSES~NOSE`S~TOES`S

Some are pale in color
some are bright and bold
all were once weeds in fields
or so... I have been told

Some smell real sweet
some have no scent at all
some are frail and petite
some grow large and tall

Some blossom in springtime
some bloom in the fall
the ones in that garden of mine
seemed never to bloom at all

~Therefore~

This year I planted roses
to see if my luck would change
gave em lots of fertilizer
and installed a soakin hose

To my surprise they blossomed
twas along about mid-June
the aroma from them was awesome
but they faded away all too soon

Was chilly in the fall
and it was time to prune
that`s when I made a mistake
and as I clipped, hoe`d and raked

~So when next June arrives~

the lovely scent of the roses
will surely please our noses

What I learned from the above mistake
and can use as a life`s good lesson
is to tread round the prunnings softly
else the thorns will pierce your toes`s

Sincere list
