dragon with the green thumb

 

(Bicycling Through Haight Ashbury in 1969 by Robert Margetts)

DRAGON WITH A GREEN THUMB

 

Pot the Spruce

trim the Pines

Crush...stomp....Down to nine.

 

Edge the grass

water the dates

Wham..crash...Alas just eight.

 

Fan the willows

and clip the tulips

Whoosh...thrash.  7 down to six.

 

Hoe the maples

and de-flea the dogwoods

Bounce...bump.  Five to four.

Soon to be no more..

 

Pick the carnations

and fluff the roses

Squash...splat.  Down to one.

The dragon may have the green thumb

but all the girls giggle at his black and blue bum!!
