Yellow Rose of Kansas


The yellow rose of Kansas
blooms a verdant velveteen.
Elegant, she shimmers,
through aisles of books and dreams.

With eloquence she speaks of folk
that dwell in other lands,
where velvet was a well-known coin,
and washing done by hand.

(It kept them humble.)

The yellow rose blooms bright this Spring,
a thornless smile in velveteen.
