Carnations

Date of entry: 7/27/23

Roses are red
Violets are blue
You like big girls
I know you do

We've got more to love
More heart to give
You've only got
One life to live

Imagine chasing roses
Being pricked by all their thorns
While carnations are waiting
Looking ragged and torn

These carnations aren't ugly
They've just been trampled on
By people chasing roses
From dusk til dawn

These carnations have many petals,
Very vivid, very bright
But yet they aren't noticed
They're not even in sight

Yeah I guess they're "pretty"
Or maybe even "cute"
But compared to the sex appeal of a rose
Carnations seem mute

Most chase after a rose
Because it's what the movies say we want
And the TVs and magazines
Roses are all they flaunt

Rose is the symbol of sex
A dozen means you're in love
But imagine being bold enough,
A carnation could fit like a glove

Be bold, chase different
Chase after another flower
Chasing after a rose is basic
And gives it too much power

Meanwhile a carnation
Is waiting for you to choose
But if you wait too long, winter will come
And the carnation, you will lose
