I wonder when the thistle decided to become an artichoke and in which country. Nature works in mysterious ways

It always intrigued me watching Cyprus donkeys eating thistles and the like - - in spite of their pricks - as if it were a delicacy

They have the same taste as a Scotsman.

I'll take your word for it - I've never tasted a Scotsman before!

I am sure I typed 'taste buds' there.

My favourite flower is of such truly perfect form,

I scarce can do it justice by revealing just it's name,

pure grace and beauty, sweet of scent so soft and warm

so out of place one wonders oh from whence such beauty came.


Midst tangled vines and grasping weeds it stands alone

whilst golden sunlight bathes it's leaves in summer's glow,

the bloom, majestic emblem seated on a shining throne

beyond and far above the struggling mass below.


And so it is with flowers and their ugly foes

who would destroy the grace which they could never be,

among the tangled vines stands 'Oracle the Rose'

It might be a good idea (on this auspicious day) to edit the last line.
