The Daisy

I met a daisy one fine day  While running through a field to play  A daisy who looked quite undressed  As though she suffered great duress Oh daisy with your face of gold  Whose fate of love have you foretold?  Did he love her? Did he not?  She left your face a naked dot! Who was the girl who plucked your mane?  To be so cruel is quite insane  I'm sorry that she left you bald  To be quite frank, I am appalled!  The daisy sighed and turned her head  She did not cry, but grinned instead  The girl who pulled my petals out  Thought she got them all, no doubt  But one was hidden pressed way back  See it here? The one in tact?  She'll soon find out she read me wrong  He loved another all along  And she will bow her head in shame  And on me she'll lay the blame  But, although now I'm one bald flower  Question not, my psychic power

Additional Notes:
posted as a contest entry at www.allpoetry.com I struggled a bunch with how to lead into the conversation. I do not like that it suddenly jumps tenses... Any suggestions for improvement without messing up the rhyme scheme would be greatly appreciated.
