The Greenfly And The Rose

All good things must end

The straightest rose will bend

Its colours droop and wilt

Just like a love affair

The Pink Sensation fades

The Sterling Silver fades

The Virgo and Blue Moon

Soon they're just wrinkled things

The Baccara

The flame red Superstar

Forever yours

A rose called Peace

At night the aphids dream

A micro-locust's dream

They eat the world alive

There's not a morsel left

They eat the jungle leaves

Consume the wheat-field sheaves

The eat the flowers and plants

They eat their stalks as well

As their tiny jaws

Munch on plan and cause

Their complex eyes

Examine the skies

They eat the cumuli

Marshmallow of the sky

They eat away the blue

And they eat the Sun and Moon

They swallow all the stars

And both the moons of Mars

They lick the plate of space

They lick their lips as well

The Baccara

The flame red Superstar

Forever yours

A rose called Peace

The Greenfly and the Rose

The Greenfly and the Rose

The Greenfly and the Rose

The Greenfly and the Rose

The Greenfly and the Rose

The Greenfly and the Rose

The Greenfly and the Rose

The Greenfly and the Rose
