The poor tulip boy has poor taste
that he loves his patch
and his trowel and spade
and his landlord, the dame

that he sells to in the market
his red and yellow flames.
I am a poor tulip boy
with not a purse nor a name,

made to grow tulips in clay
and sleep in my shoes
on a poor tulip boy wage,
happy to sell none today.

You're welcome. Nice.
