I’ve a puzzle to propose to you
about the Scottish, with a little hint, too,
in that the answer involves the Danes;
So if you please do kindly listen,
So if you please do kindly listen,
Why do you suppose
from some of the flowers
that Scotland could choose
for their emblem,
that Scotland could choose
for their emblem,
amongst some others, like
Daisies, Buttercups, Forget-Me-Knots,
Lilies, Poppies, Teasel, Phlox,
Fleabane, Bloodroot, Pussy Toes,
Harebells, Blues Bells, and Yarrow,
Blue-eyed Mary, Bouncing Bet,
Indian Pipe, Bride’s Bonnet,
Arrowhead, Fever Few, Lizard Tail,
Black-Eyed Susie, Solomon’s Seal,
Camas, Water Cress, Snow-on-the-Mountain,
Ox-eye Daisy, Pokeweed, Trillium,
Pearly Everlasting, Morning Glory…
Again, so now what could be the story
that would prompt Scotland
to choose from all the flowers without a prickle,
to choose from all the flowers without a prickle,
the Cirsium vulgare, (in other words),
the Speary Thistle?
(I will tell you!…)
