Where Have All The Flowers Gone (A Poem)

Sometimes I get asked "Sparkles, what's your favorite flower?"
The truth is that I really don't have one
Roses look nice, but that seems too obvious
So I tend to say "orchids"
Other times I might say "daffodils"

My favorite constellation is Orion
But it's a tough call
Ursa Major is pretty neat, too
As is the one that looks like some guy groping a donkey
I don't know what it's called, but I'm pretty sure a lot of donkeys do

Maybe one of the stars on Orion's belt has fallen
And we just don't know it yet;
Just like a flower's petals might fall
But we're too caught up in stuff like who the CEO of Proctor and Gamble is
To notice

In many ways, flowers and stars are beneficent
We just take it for granted
