six thorns and one rose,
but one rose with six horns.
there are those who look with scorn
upon the rose which has six horns,
but to the thorn the horny rose
is far more friendly to the nose
than say a fluffy daffodil
which tickles so and makes us ill.
no! we must be the thorny six
and she must be our horny fix!
