The first two lines sort of popped into my head, so I turned this into a poem about 5 minutes ago and thought I would share. I don't mind sharing since this is practically anonymous:
Never mind the fickle willow,
Who blows with any breeze.
But remember the sturdy oak,
Which only flutters leaves.
And remember not the tall lily,
Which wilts on a hot summer day.
Think of instead a stout orchid,
One which will never fade away.
Do not think of the ocean,
A fiend which never stays the same.
Security is found in pools,
When controlled they are quite tame.
If only I had known this before,
My garden would have lasted forevermore.
Never mind the fickle willow,
Who blows with any breeze.
But remember the sturdy oak,
Which only flutters leaves.
And remember not the tall lily,
Which wilts on a hot summer day.
Think of instead a stout orchid,
One which will never fade away.
Do not think of the ocean,
A fiend which never stays the same.
Security is found in pools,
When controlled they are quite tame.
If only I had known this before,
My garden would have lasted forevermore.
