Inside each body and soul are seeds
Which grow and spread like tangled weeds
When not blessed born in a flower bed
They plant themselves in cracks instead
The elegant ivy inches through town
Its work brings the ancient brickwork down
Looks great until you want to paint
And mouldy walls make you feel faint
What do all plants and humans need
To grow a big plant from a tiny seed?
Just water, sunlight and some heat
Add daily nutrients to eat
That's why the world is full of weeds
Because they grow as well as seeds.
Admire the wonderful world of weeds
Letting wilkflowers thrive is a modern good deed
Yellow dandelions can make soup
I tried it once but just got gloop
Yes tiny white daisies make pretty posies
While my garden's overgrown with rampant red roses.
