I Was Told You Are Indeed A Rose

Even though I was told, You are indeed a Rose. I still could not tell from the scent, Since I suffer from a recent bad head cold. Something suddenly has happened, To convince me of this. And you can be quite different, Not so detected as a Daffodil. I can tell the Tulip from a distance. Or a Carnation on a suit lapel, Without getting close to sniff it. But you 'they' say, Are a Rose to uphold. And I can't tell if that is true. Since my nose is blocked. And getting near to you... Waters my eyes, And keeps them closed. Whatever that is you've got... Makes me sneeze a lot! I wanted to get a dozen of you, To splurge. But I think I am allergic. And that has prevent my urge.
