FOOLISH FLOWERS
Rupert Sargent Holland

We've foxgloves in our garden; How careless they myst be To leave their gloves out hanging Where everyone can see! And Bachelors leave their Buttons In the same careless way, If I should do the same with mine, What would mother say? We've lots of Larkspurs in the Yard--- Larks only fly and sing--- Birds surely don't need spurs because They don't ride anything! And as for Jhonny-Jump-Ups--- I saw a hornet light On one of them the other day, He didn't jump a mite!
