If Red Roses Were Gangsters and Outlaws

 

If red roses were gangsters and outlaws

And their sharp thorns were weapons

What a massive profusion to cause

The police to make quick accommodations

 

What masses of these would have to be

Roses pilfering jewels, opals and monies

By shoots of demanding vines with glee

Entering and leaving like li'l scared bunnies

 

Some trumpet vines would come to aid

Calling all troops to help camouflage

The stealing duties these roses made

Thru the escape into the wisterias lodge

 

If red roses were bad gangsters and outlaws

What an outrage these climbers would be

Stealing away through brick and wood flaws

Sending the owners on an exterminating spree
