GREENHOUSE BLUES

Posted by Admin on 28 March 2008, 12:00 am

My cacti bloom in every room,
they’re fine and fat and prickly:
why is it thus my coleus
is looking very sickly?

My cyclamen inspires the pen
of many a poetaster:
the coleus – my big nonplus,
is heading for disaster.

My maiden-hair’s beyond compare,
despite the neighbours’ quips:
we’ll not discuss my coleus,
it’s really had its chips.

Long hours I spend my plants to tend,
I water, weed and cut:
sheer futile fuss, that coleus
just makes me do my nut.
