An Angry Talking Flower Page
I am a Hibiscus
and the flower contest
is my battlefield
Thirteen is my lucky number
so put me up against
a dozen roses
and the best they will do
is second place
Thirteen is my lucky number
because that is how many tricks
I can do with my tongue
my stamen

In Mexico, where I was born, they have Hibiscus Dance Contests.
ReplyDeleteI am the owner of PEPITO's FLOWER SHOP,
on Orange Avenue just above 4th Street [90802].

Juan Pepito and I have had many interesting conversations
and Mrs. CarPeo is extremely grateful for all the flowers
I purchased from him as peace offerings
after our collective anger caused seismic shifts
in the three short blocks that separate
PEPITO's FLOWER SHOP
from our condo.
She is seriously considering Juan's offer
of a part-time job.
If he looked more like the Senor Wences puppet
and less like Senor Wences, I wouldn't be paranoid
about letting her work there

Did this Hibiscus come from PEPITO's FLOWER SHOP?

DeleteNO
The nickname of 4th Street
adjacent to Orange Avenue
is Hibiscus Boulevard
BUT Juan's story about
the Hibiscus Dance contests
may have inspired this photograph
of a flower 25 feet east of the world famous
Tito's Bakery which supposedly
was named for Juan Pepito's
great-grandson.
