Roses are red

Violets are blue

You care for me

And I will love you

The water are rising

My mum has long gone

I’m piebald and skinny

And I’m nearly one

My needs are quite simple

They number just five

If you could arrange them

I could stay alive

But I am so hungry

I’ll just lie down here

I can’t think just now

For the cold and the fear

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Care for me please

And I will love you
