DARLING COREY

Oh Cory! Oh Corey! Alas, oh
How they have defamed you!

The coreopsis, so named after
Greek logos 'coris' for bedbug,
may, be this biblicly pious nor
not, ... What? Why a bedbug?

Some say her seeds resemble
those infamous leprosy vectors.

Doubly infamated is the goldn &
red flowerd Coreopsis auriculata
with 'species' from a mouse's ear,
thus making it doubly verminous.
