Delphiniums (Blue) and Geraniums (Red)

There Once was a Dormouse

who lived in a bed

of delphiniums (blue) 

and geraniums (red),

And all the day long he'd a wonderful view

of geraniums (red)

and delphiniums (blue)

The Dormouse lay there, 

and he gazed at the view

of geraniums (red)

and delphiniums (blue).

And he knew there was nothing he wanted instead

Of delphiniums (blue)

and geraniums (red).

The Dormouse lay happy, his eyes were so tight

He could not see no chrysanthemums, yellow or white,

And all that he felt at the back of his head

Were delphiniums (blue)

and geraniums (red).
