True Story just made in a more poetic version
I came across this beautiful poppy this morning but all I could see was the flower just laying on the ground, it was swamped with weeds, ivy and that sticky plant that you used to put on your school friends jumpers. As soon as I cleared the vegetation oh my god I said, look how tall you are, what a beaut you are, I'm going to get some support for you, ah a bamboo stick that will do, but I need to tie you to it if that's ok with you, darn it I have no string, I'm stuck now I can't let you go, oh wait a mo I can hear someone approaching, they will help save you too, it's Di Feasby I cry she will know what to do, I said Di do you have twine or string and just like magic, it appeared from her pocket
Look at you now Poppy standing all regal surrounded with wood chippings and not in those horrible weeds
