A Little Touch Of Garden Humor

With all the terrible happenings taking place around the world these last few days, I thought a little Garden Humor might help relive some folks stress levels.

Clear indications that you have too much Zucchini:

  • Your neighbor finds them every morning in his mailbox.
  • You are eating it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, snacks too.
  • You have a flute made out of a Zucchini.
  • The stores pay you to take some off their shelves.
  • Even the field mice stop eating it.
  • You till under the Zucchini plants, but still have more today than you had yesterday.
  • Nightmares about a giant Zucchini wakes you in the night.
  • Your kids are using it for building blocks.
  • You spray your zucchini plants with sugar water to attract insects. But, they won't bite.

 
My Wife the Gardener
 
She dug the plot on Monday –
the soil was rich and fine,
She forgot to thaw out dinner –
so we went out to dine...
 
She planted roses Tuesday –
she says they are a must,
They really are quite lovely
but she quite forgot to dust.
 
On Wednesday it was daisies –
they opened up with sun,
All whites and pinks and yellows –
but the laundry wasn’t done...
 
The poppies came on Thursday -
a bright and cherry red,
I guess she really was engrossed –
she never made the bed...
 
 It was violets on Friday –
 in colors she adores,
 It never bothered her at all –
 those crumbs upon the floors
 
I hired a maid on Saturday –
my week is now complete,
My wife can garden all she wants –
the house will still be neat!
 
It’s nearly lunchtime Sunday –
and I cannot find the maid,
Oh no! I don’t believe it!
She’s out there WITH THE SPADE!
