A Weed is a flower in the wrong place

A Weed is a flower in the wrong place

A weed is a flower in the wrong place,
A flower is a weed in the right place,
If you were a weed in the right place
You would be a flower;
But seeing as you’re a weed in the wrong place
You’re only a weed –
Its high time someone pulled you out.
