Poor Purple Pansy - Flash 55 Friday, 5-28-10

Once a pretty purple pansy,

Now you look forlorn,

Some creepy crawly critters,

Have made your petals shorn.

You’ve delighted many,

With your smiling pretty face,

But you and all your neighbors,

Are feeling much disgrace.

You sadly wilt before us,

I wish you peaceful rest,

So mercilessly the slaughter,

Victory for the garden pest.
