Her manners were gracious
Her orchids vandaceous,
And she had a real good Ascocenda.

I gaze at my post of dendrobium,
My spicy anosum,
I know it will grow some
And be worth of a place on the podium.
--- Betts
Which wanted to bloom but could not.
We gave it, in time,
Some water and lime,
And now the old Paph blooms a lot!

Claimed that her orchids were funny.
She tickled their lips
With colchicine strips
And grew in Plutonium honey!

Its shaft was all dark
And covered with bark,
While his foreskin looked just like a lily.

And Petunia, Heather, and thee.

Had relations with shrubs,
Since the best garden clubs
Snubbed his purple and pink peonies.

These days what with Dutch Elm Disease.

Which I planted to keep
Out my good neighbor's sheep,
But they still eat my roses and stocks.

Much like a giraffe,
They can't even laugh.
That's why a chrysanthemums mum!

Till, to her consternation,
One replied, "Stop your chatter -- get lost!"

It's shape is a bit of quite phallic.
It's a hit on the nose
And it grows and it grows,
And is housed in the Gardens, Botanic.

Take a whiff and say I beg your pardon.
It's bad on the nose,
And unlike a rose,
It's more like an elephant fartin'.

Up came a huge flower
Which grew by the hour;
Of lilies worldwide, it's the chief.

A lily eternal!
Putrid! Infernal!
Magnifico, grande, and bel!

It seems a bit silly
To call it a lily;
It's more like the Blossom from Hell!

Lots of pollen, no sting.
I'm a carrion beetle under your spell!"

A flower in the Sydney Green'us,
At which everybody gawps
'Cause it smells like a corpse
And looks like a huge deformed penis.

Like it was growing a beard,
And my mum says it's name means a willy.

In the rainforest, well out of sight,
The worst flower in town
Lets its red curtains down,
And releases a smell that's a fright!

So we all can observe it,
Its presence, its size, and its power.

Causing RanDog to stare,
Wishing he too could harvest at leisure.

On the plains they're unbent,
So the growers all went
And grew them on the side of a hill.

Unlike beans, it won't make you toot!

On their own, wrinkle gums;
In sloe gin, they're a heavenly blend.

Why the name of canola,
Is it just to console a
Consumer who's frightened of rape?

From the broad light of day,
Beneath a stiff prick -- A gooseberry.

And the aftereffects are delicious.

Oft affecting the knees,
And turns torsos and trunks into dust.

Who had an incredible fright.
While curing a tree
It alarmed him to see
That it's bark was much worse than its blight!

Was chased up a tree in a fright
By a dog that just nipped him,
But the tree badly stripped him,
And the bark was much worse than the bite.

But some folks annoy me
And nearly destroy me.
When they, without guile, call me sappy.

It splits open; stuff zigs and stuff zags;
Birds fly off with the goods,
Eat and poop in the woods;
Grows more trash trees, for cheap grocery bags.

Like a fan -- she suck and she blow.
When beans in a bag
Are spilled by a fag,
In the woods, they've nowhere to go.

Where they soak up the air and old Sol,
With botanical arts,
They lock up the farts
That, eaten by humans, they dole!

Will cause all forests to the last tree,
To soon disappear
And in their places rear
Habitats for inhumanity.

You listen, you'll hear the tree bark."

Who thought he'd give trees a whirl.
He's in pain, alas,
For it came to pass,
The tree was the home of a squirrel.
