Roses are Yellow


This rose is yellow but mostly they’re red.
It’s not intended to mark out the dead.
It started off as a gift for a man
Who merely had trouble with his bedpan.
The gift was given and a photo was taken
To show the man who was very much shaken
And rested his soul not too far away
But those who visited had to pay
For trains and cars and parking galore
And climb flights of stairs to the highest floor.
The rose got planted and was attached to the wall
And another photo was taken by our man Paul
To show the sick man whose name was Eddie
That an inspection of the rose was just about ready.
The rose still stands but Eddie is gone
And in his place the rose climbs on
And up the fence to remind us that
He hasn’t just left behind his tat.
