This is a test
It is wise to start with a test
Before you consume and digest
The nose is a powerful tool
And a good one is no fool
It can be used to diagnose
The difference between a lily and a rose
As you may want to know which is which
To satisfy a nose craving or a mind’s itch
Both can smell rather pleasant
Though lilies can be more pungent
Roses you may find to be quite sweet
And more popular with people you meet
Though both lilies and roses also come without perfume
They are quite a dull bloom
And if you cannot tell the difference between a lily and a rose
You had better go and get yourself a new nose with which to diagnose.
