Writing in the park, Day 15.
African tulip flowers
are soldiers brave and strong
Resplendent in royal regalia
they stand guard all day long
High up on the tulip tree
they can be seen from afar
Guarding their castle with watchful eyes
always ready to go to war
African tulip flowers
are warriors without fear
Armed with swords of gold and crimson
no enemy dares go near.
