They are flowers really



One day whilst working in my garden
My neighbour said I beg your pardon
But I have spied a noxious weed
And it is about to go to seed
Allow me to remove the pest
For noxious weeds I do detest
I lept up and pushed her to one side
Saying in a voice quite horrified
When you have come right to your senses
You will se that is the rare horrida natalensis
The neighbour was apologetic
Explained she had never studied plant genetics
She is a rare breed – one of those
Who cant tell a daisy from a rose
And while her yard is neat and clean
There is not a flower to be seen.
