Snapped this exotic ragweed with iPhone while recently on a Walk, and it spurred a silly song idea. Got home and looked it up....Had no idea, it was actually even a Thistle. Amazing flower-weed in The Daisy Family with Wellness, Homeopathic, Medicinal powers. The thorny Thistle is also an Emblem of Scotland and Lorraine. Wrote some Lyrics, played my PRS S2, and added vocals against an Original Backing Track that I created to develop a whimsical and rather zany tune about it all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thistle

Well, Sometimes Love
It’s a Sticky Thing….
Oh, and of your Stickiness…
That’s What I sing
Sticky Thistle….What are You?
You seemed such a mystery to me
Noticed you on a walk
When I slipped out recently
You were, assuredly, the Prettiest
Among the Rottenest
It’s obvious even though…….
I’m no Botanist < (OuCh) >
Oh, Yeah
(Chorus)
How you stood out in Magenta
Amidst a Patch of Green
Yet, I’m sure that if I could hold You
Well, You’d probably treat me Mean
Oh, Sticky Thistle
I knew not what you were….
Thorny and all Prickly
You’re a Med for the Sickly
You’re emblematic in Scotland
And, here, I thought you just a Weed
But, now I fully understand
You’re quite a cure for those in need
And, if you were in the Sea
I’d think you an Anemone
Yet, you’re a Cousin of Daisy
Although, certainly more an Anomaly
Oh, Sticky Thistle
Maybe, You’d better just….
Stick by Me???
Oh, Sticky Thistle…………(Blah, blah, blah ;-)
