Rosebud

“I know you want to eat it.

I know it smells divine.

But if you take a nibble

I’ll have to hear you whine.”

“But Mom, it looks so tasty!

And look—it’s just so cute!

It looks just like a rosebud,

And smells like one to boot!”

“You need to just resist it.”

“I can’t resist it—nope.”

“I told you. It’s disgusting.”

“You’re right. I don’t like soap!”
