Convenience My Daughter



Down by the poppies,

'What is it, hosing dad,
that stiffens a poppy's neck
just before it flowers? '
asked my convenient daughter.

'It's poppy love, Con-v, ' I said.
(It has to be more than just water.)

'I love Con-v, rhyming dad' said she.

'Oh, that's just the first of many.
It's poppy love, Convenny.'
