This Wealth Means Death
To some this orange hue is welcome
A lovely bloom in spring
A confident orange blossom
That wealth and happiness does bring
But to me this bloom means death
The stamen causes allergies
As fierce as tiger’s claws
The petals poison those I care for
A cat’s worst enemy
For though it smells like love
And brings your family blessings
Lily spells death for furry friends
Who chew upon its head
So do not gift me lilies
Despite your best intents
In this house it’s unwelcome
Here your wealth means death
