I heard the flowers whisper as sometimes they tend to do, And I bent my ear to hear them Perhaps to learn a thing or two I listened quite intently Past the sounds of morning dew But the flowers said, “We do not speak to the likes of you!” A buttercup then deigned to add, “Come back when you are young, and then perhaps we might just talk and we can have some fun.”
“But how,” asked I, “can I be younger then I am right now?” The buttercup in silence stood and wouldn't tell me how.
So when you're young, please realize the possibilities And maybe then a time will come for chances such as these And if by chance you hear a flower whispering nearby be sure to stop and take the time to politely just say “Hi!”
