Purple

taken from my perennial garden at house

I was looking up a poem to put with this, I was intrigued with the history of this poem

(it has nothing to do with the picture)

Gelett wrote this poem and became famous for it

Purple Cow

I never saw a Purple Cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.

Gelett Burgess

 two years later he wrote this

Ah, yes, I wrote the "Purple Cow"—
I'm Sorry, now, I wrote it;
But I can tell you Anyhow
I'll Kill you if you Quote it

Makes you think do people regret their success or maybe just how they got there??
