The sight of a huge morning glory they say
can brighten up even the darkest of days
as well as the petals shaped just like a heart
the trumpet shaped flower’s another main part

Some form a vine that can twine for support
while others stand proud, like a king they hold court
but while on the subject I really must mention
the lone soldier boy as he stands to attention

Like a ramrod he stands with his head held up high
with his big shiny helmet and one staring eye
his weapon is stiff and his voice it is mute
the impression he gives is one of salute

So the private parades that he’s ready for action
and those who are watching him see his attraction
it’s all they can do to contain their reaction
they know that when needed he gives satisfaction
