When Flowers Wake Up

When flowers wake up each morning

They don't have to make their beds.

And lettuce leaves aren't told to comb

The hair upon their heads.

You'd never tell asparagus

It shouldn't play with spears.

You'd never ask a stalk of corn

To wash behind its ears.

A mushroom doesn't have to

Clean its room, and you'll agree

A tree won't have to study hard

To learn geometry.

I guess it should be obvious

From listening to my rant.

I'm tired of being a person;

I would rather be a plant.
