I placed an Acacia in my hair
Deliberately, with great care
And thought it added a certain flair-
My meaning was quite subtle.
I plucked an Aster quite happily
And tucked it in too, for you to see.
I thought it spoke most eloquently-
My meaning was quite subtle.
The Arbutus I carefully wound
Into the other stems, gently bound;
'Twas the prettiest garland around-
My meaning was quite subtle.
Then I added the Ambrosia too,
Sure it would render my intent true.
It all became my message to you-
My meaning was quite subtle.
I......What!! You suffer from hayfever??
