The poppy, my favorite flower

THE POPPY SEED LADY
(Author: Unknown)


A time of magicians and spells
A beautiful maiden was created
Her name Postomani, Poppy Seed Lady
Born of a mouse with the power of speech,
And then transformed it into a cat, a dog, an ape, a boar
Before her final transformation



A royal tale was then spun of deceit, love and death


The Poppy Seed Lady's flesh and bone of her untimely death
Grew a plant called Posto - The Poppy Tree
From this plant will be obtained a drug called opium,
Either smoked or swallowed a wondrous feeling was created
If abused, it will generate the consumer one quality of each of the animals
To which Postomani has been transformed
He will be mischievous like a mouse,
Fond of milk like a cat,
Quarrelsome like a dog,
Filthy like an ape,
Savage like a boar,
High tempered like a queen.
