This land heavily rooted with thornsA
Once was the home of coloured RoseB
The sight of it pleasant to the eye andC
it''s breath sweeter to the noseB
Under the Rose was the comfort of lifeD
The land's lads survived with no sudorE
Then a giant butterfly arrived from a land andC
with forceful permissions planted another roseB
A rose that destroys RoseB
