Whatever my name, it matters not,

I am who I am, I live and I rot.

I have no love but love is my name.

Giving is living, forgiveness my game,

I don’t like drugs, but I will do pot,

Loving is good, clinging is not.

For a gentle embrace I live and I die,

Caress me too much and blood is nigh.

Put me in bowl and show me on high,

All will cheer, and many cry.

Women adore me; men restore me.

I illicit a sigh . . . now what am I?

a plant or flower. I'm going to go with a Rose, given all the emotion and thorns can bring the blood.

Would a Rose by any other name smell as sweet?

unless that other name is "compost"

Well done gentlemen. Compost it is! LOL!

I know these are a bit skate . . . I make them up for my ten year old ESL students (minus the "pot" like references of course : ) and stick 'em on here for anyone's amusement.

Cheers
