The Rose in the nettle bush,

how much we envy the,

as it's beautiful petals,

are adorned with a painful protection.



The Rose in the nettle bush,

how did you get there?

Fighting for survival,

against the evil nettles.



The Rose in the nettle bush,

cowering in the night,

except there's no need for fright,

as the stings will fend off the creatures of the dark.



The Rose in the nettle bush,

how do we decide?

Do you like the nettles or not?

Or should we actually mind?
