THISTLES

A THISTLE grows next to a LETTUCE and a POPPY

Each takes from the soil what its roots need

To keep a lettuce

Quite different from a thistle and a poppy

And a thistle quite different from a lettuce and a poppy

 And a poppy quite different from a lettuce and a thistle.

THISTLES

      

      A thistle grows next to a lettuce.

      Each takes from the soil what its roots need

    To keep a lettuce

    Quite different           from a thistle.
