Flower Boy

Once there was a boy with flowers for hair.

Beautiful, beautiful flowers.

As he grew, so did they.

He went through day to day life

With a grin on his face,

And no one said a word.

Until one day he came upon a group of men,

With stems growing out of their heads;

Flowerless.

And they laughed,

And laughed,

Until the boy could not take it anymore,

And he cut his flowers off.

"Am I beautiful now?" 

He asked.
