Rose

A rose by any other name would still be a rose
And a nose by any other name would still be a nose.
Your nose knows that a rose is a rose.
What about toes?
Your nose certainly knows toes.
What about bows?
What about clothes?
Would a hose by any other name still be a hose?
What about those?
It’s time that we chose.
How many yeses? How many nos?
If you ask a rose, as it sits there and grows, will it disclose?
How do we know that a rose knows that it knows?
Do I? I suppose.
