Two Flower Children

Two Flower Children

Two daffodils grew nearly side by side,
Divided by a margin eight inch wide.
They were in love with one another
Although they were a sister and a brother,
Therefore a union might not be allowed;
And so they kept their heads quite low and bowed.
Then came a bee, all flighty and immoral;
It transferred pollen--floral to floral,
Resulting in illicit propagation,
Which should have earned them condemnation.
But since in nature all this is permitted,
My verdict is: those lovers are acquitted.
