It’s sad

Roses are not ever red -

You just think they are

Violets are not blue -

You just want them to be.

Sugar is bad  it’s said.

Like you

Are bad

For me

Hi Linda,

I could actually smell the fragrance from the beautiful rose in the picture.

Great take on the I P.

Jenny.

An intriguing little parody!

I take it this it for the 'alternative facts' IP not the 'snowdrops'? It seems to highlight the problem with the terminology where 'alternative' should mean quite right other facts that need to be thought about, but it is coming to mean 'untruth' that is made to sound like facts.

Haven't 'seen' you around for a while. Have you been OK, just busy, especially after that crash?

Hi Rhiannon, indeed this is about alternatives. Thanks for the perceptive comment!

I'm okay thanks, kind of you to ask.i have been greatly occupied with my ailing and ageing mother in law, being not so young myself it takes it out of you! Our area is healing after the crash, but there are many with life changing injuries to deal with too. And the cancer charity I chair is having to move to new and more expensive premises so I've been very busy but trying to get the Muse back!
