Hand Me a Crepe, Myrtle

As the garden grows…


This one is For Sythia  
       Rose may not agree  
She’s the one who seems to think
                   That “Everything’s for me!”

Their beauty is so petty 
      Tulips speak with ease
“Let’s hope this doesn’t Croc us”
              This late Spring eager freeze

Yes, Daisy is so worried
      She knows she’s getting old
How will she support herself 
                        “Not all can Mari gold”

Lily is in Lavender  
       Seen heading to the Station
She worries the environment
                     “We are still a Car nation”

Though Sythia is fragile 
        She’s grieving recent death
Mums the word when she’s around
                    She eyeing Baby’s Breath

She’s dating that Sweet William 
        And that’s why Rose is sore 
At last Spring’s garden party, 
       Will and Rose had known L’Amour

I guess they all have problems
        Just ask that Prickly Pear
Won't even say Hi Biscus
                    With his nose up in the air

I wish they’d chill, relax and eat
        The ground has been so fertile
Just then Azalea shouted out
             “Hey, hand me a Crepe, Myrtle”
