RED ROSETTES

RED ROSETTES

Red rosettes
Red rosettes
Two women canvassing
Get soaking wet

Door to door
Door to door
They electioneer
Through hard rainfall

Red rosettes
Red rosettes
They get utterly soaked
By a passing car

He got vexed
He got vexed
Because he didn’t like
Their red rosettes

They’re upset
Soaking wet
Yet still proudly wearing
Those red rosettes


MAWH, June 2017

(A short poem inspired by an incident that happened recently involving a friend of ours)
