Written for The Bottle Garden Contest, sponsored by Julia Ward.
I found an old antique bottle at a thrift store,
paid fifty cents but it was worth so much more.
I assembled my bottle garden with pride and joy,
having so much fun with my project like a new toy.
I sat and admired my bottle garden the next night,
then quickly jumped up out of my chair with fright.
My bottle garden was now full of spiders and ants,
crawling all over and eating my beautiful plants.
I quickly tossed it outside into the trash bin,
Sadly, my noxious bottle garden was not a win.
