I just missed the bus
And I’m already too late
Little flower greets
Hello, little one
I love your yellow!
I wrote a poem
About a King Protea
Except the image
Contained in my book
(Not this image – better)
Is not a King type
But a bearded one
Is that a problem, you think?
Will there be lashings?
(How can you write about a King Protea and add a Bearded Protea?
How dare you?
I dare! Because its my book, and I can)
And I love the photo
And I love the name King Protea
Bearded Protea in my poem does not work
