Verse

Dogs are not like flowers,
Although they both can bloom.
Kittens are like flowers,
They don't know where they are.
It's said that lobsters
Are shying away from
Lobster pots.
It's said that it's
To do with evolution.
It's like us with wisdom
Teeth, it's said that they're
Going away.
When I first heard of
The birds and bees I thought
That surely bees were tiny
Birds.
It's that day when everything
Changes and nothing is
Ever the same.
Cows do know when
It's Sunday.
Should verse like
Sprouts
Spring unblemished
In one virgin breath?
