flowers


by genghis gilgamesh




adam picked an apple
and polished it to a shine
bertha rode a boxcar
with a jug of wine

columbus sailed the ocean
because the sky was blue
delilah smiled at samson
and broke his heart in two

george washington had wooden teeth
and wore a wig of white
honest abe lincoln freed the slaves
because he saw the light

goliath was a mighty man
and waked in mighty boots
little david had a sling
that he knew how to shoot

moses was a handsome child
found in rushes of bull
nero burned the city down
because his tank was full

odin was the god of war
and smote his enemies thighs
pandora opened up her box
and gave him a surprise

robin hood lived in the forest
with his merry men
solomon was very wise
and had more wives than ten

everyone has a story
to tell or to sell
flowers grew in the garden
before the empire fell
