'Twas not a rose, <br />Though it had thorns. <br />Was it a pose? <br />Was it a con? <br /> <br />'Twas not a plant <br />But an implant <br />But 'twas not a rose <br />But pretty, pretty, prose. <br /> <br />'Twas what it did, <br />In a clever, clever bid, <br />It nefariously slid, <br />In whatever was hid. <br /> <br />'Twas a cunning plan, <br />Which went hand in hand; <br />'Twas a sharp tongue, and a sharper mind. <br />'Twas both that gave meaning to humankind. <br /> <br /> <br />09th April 2009 <br />Copyright © SC <br />Subroto Chatterjee<br /><br />Subroto Chatterjee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/twas-not-a-rose/
