Of Cabbages and Kings


Almost forty years later, whenever I see cabbage roses, 
I can't help but remember the words to a poem I had to recite by heart:


" The Walrus and The Carpenter" 

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes and ships and sealing-wax
Of cabbages and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot
And whether pigs have wings"
