'You know, Mom... you could write <br />a poem about chrysanthemums.. <br />I like chrysanthemums.' <br /> <br />Not a single word <br />in the English language <br />rhymes with that word <br /> <br />but I think that <br />this was not my daughter's, <br />my little flower's, concern <br /> <br />that in her remarkably <br />perceptive mind, on the surface, <br />seemingly random, thinking <br /> <br />she's actually telling me <br />that I think too much, <br />and I should just stop to smell the... <br /> <br />well... the chrysanthemums, of course. <br /> <br /> <br />(Thank you, Lauren Marie-9/8/07-Ok, I realize now, thanks to my husband, that there are more than a FEW words that rhyme with 'chrysanthemum'... but they were just not very useful! !)<br /><br />Lee Degnan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chrysanthemum-3/
