Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Poinsettia

The Christmas tale is often told.

In a small town in Mexico,

Young Pepita just six years old,

All by herself she walked to go

To the Nativity scene where

Baby Jesus she hoped to see.

As Pepita walked to the square,

She picked some wild weeds meant to be

Her gift to baby Jesus for

The celebrating of His birth.

Weeds wilting, she wished she had more.

Her weeds gift seemed of little worth.

Weeds into Poinsettia became,

"Flowers of the Holy Night" fame.
