The Bearded Iris by James Aitchison

2 Comments
By ozchildrenspoetry September 24, 2023

How can flowers grow a beard,

And do they need to shave?

It seems a very funny way

For flowers to behave.

Do they use a razor,

Or will some clippers do?

I think bearded irises

Are rather weird, don’t you?
