Where Are The Flowers

Where Are The Flowers

 

 

Where are the flowers

And sweet thoughts of love

For isn't that what

It's best about

 

But then again

That isn't how

How best to stir and move

The patrons at the pub

 

Though no more for them

That I do write

Not that I ever did

I am risen high from that

But maybe still

A little of that still rests within

 

Where are the flowers

And sweet thoughts of love

For isn't that what

It's best about

 

Only flowers do not sell

This isn't a flower shop

It is a comic like

A place for tales

Of heroes' glory

Such a sweet allegory

 

But even so

Look ye hard enough

And you will see that as well
