A poem for my gardenia bush

O lovely shrub,
your flow'rs are sweet
and pleasing to the eye.























But if your leaves
turn brown and drop,
I shall not wonder why.

  8. Roses WERE red,
    Gardenias WERE sweet,
    Butch haD a good aim
    When he lifted his feet.

  10. I adore gardenias! Have killed several plants, without any canine help, thank you.

    Maybe Butch just wants to make sure everyone knows it's HIS plant, LOL.

  11. LOL! I was anticipating more poetry... I lost a box hedge to my stupid dog who is too woosy to walk in the snow. Instead he stands on the front porch and pees on the bush. Jeesh.

  12. Heh-heh! Gotcha! BTW, I didn't take this photo of Butch on purpose; he raised his leg right before the shutter clicked. (I had an even worse accidental photo of Kadi but deleted it out of respect for her ladylike reputation.)
