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.

While his foreskin looked just like a lily.

Sowing seeds with abandon and glee;
My Kniphofia grows
'Mid the bushes of Rose,
And Petunia, Heather, and thee.

Dumped twenty-five inches of snow.

And it grows and it grows,
And is housed in the Gardens, Botanic.

Take a whiff and say I beg your pardon.

And unlike a rose,
It's more like an elephant fartin'.

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

Lots of pollen, no sting.

And looks like a huge deformed penis.

And my mum says it's name means a willy.

Lets its red curtains down,
And releases a smell that's a fright!

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

So the growers all went
And grew them on the side of a hill.

Yielding oil from your seed, like the grape:

Consumer who's frightened of rape?

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

And the aftereffects are delicious.

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.

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.
