SUNFLOWER TRILOGY<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The sight of sunflowers can’t be beat:
\nbigger than daisies, taller than wheat.
\nThey grow strong in the sunshine’s heat.
\nTheir sight brings dreams of a salty treat;
\na heat-beating treat all love to eat.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

You can tell the world in one long tweet:
\nit’s not just love that keeps you sweet.
\n(although that’s always a nice treat!)
\nTo meet your desire’s certain someone,
\nand not end up with just a numb one,
\nheed this advice to win your peach:
\ngo sunbathing on the beach;
\nkeep your round parts within reach;
\nput sunflower seeds upon your seat.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

*****
\nSunflowers bring me to my senses
\nwhen I see them peaking over fences
\nSometimes I think they’re staring at me
\nand that they should definitely be
\narrested for peeping offences.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

*****
\nOne of Mother Nature’s best inventions,
\nthey can dismiss worries and tensions.
\nI love to watch them dance in the sun.
\nThen I ring the doorbell twice, and run,
\nbefore her father comes out with his gun. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

This poem has made too many mentions
\nof nonsense which defies declensions.
\nI should have warned before the start:
\nsunflower seeds can make one fart.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
