I saw 6 daisies                                                                   

All in a row

Like the golden sun, they glowed

But one little daisy,

In that row

Was ashamed of its petals

And would not show

I say “Oh little daisy! You’re so bright, your petals glow so much, why do you hide from my sight?”

“The sun is too bright,

And I am to mellow

I hate that my petals

Are this pasty yellow

I wish to be black,

Like the night sky

And my petals will shine with dew

Like the stars in the dark night.”

The other 5 daisies,

Turned with ignorance

So, I took the shunned daisy home

And painted it black
