Gardening Success (and Failure) comic poem number 177
by Angela Lansbury
I can't grow seeds but can grow weeds
Which proves that I do something right,
They all get water from the rain,
And lots of warming sunlight.
I am active with my pruning,
And although it needs fine tuning,
My weeds don't need much space to grow,
They do not need active feeding,
I don't talk to weeds, with kind words,
I'm just frowning as I'm weeding,
I should make dandelion soup,
Horrid, hardy plants keep breeding.
I should forget exotic fruit,
Which I had hoped one day to share,
Perhaps it's time that I gave up,
And ate what's growing everywhere.
Today's soup not potato nor pea
It must be that dandelion
'cause, frankly, it's not up to me
It's all that I can rely on.
-ends-
Poetry Lesson of the day
Save a syllable by changing 'ought to' to 'should'.
