I'm just a gardener,
With no plants to my name
I rarely get company,
So I'm glad you came.
I hope you understand
My plants and their condition
It's mainly their models
And their feeble additions.
My first set was decent
They were raised in the sun
I fertilized, watered,
And gave them some fun
Within a month they budded,
By two they bloomed
But even though they looked healthy
I felt they were doomed
So I looked to my phone,
And gave the plants a jeer
I looked in anger
And screamed "why aren't you here?"
I moved on the second set
But all they saw was fear
I fertilized with guilt,
And watered with beer.
By a month they budded
But by two they stopped trying
They were tired of my methods
So we both were dying
Thus, I looked at my phone,
And looked at my plants
I looked to the ground
And said "Food for the ants"
I moved to my third set
With no hope, and rage
They said this would get better
With patience and age
I threw them in the ground
With more hate and discord
I looked to my hobby
That I can barely afford.
I chose not to water,
But fertilized with smoke
Not even a week passed
And they started to choke
I looked at my garden
All dead and dismembered
I thought it was over
But then I remembered
I looked to my right
The plants raised in the sun
The ones I took care of
And knew they were the one
I looked at my precious
And rather than starting anew
I cut it out of its roots
And forgot what to do.
