Jubilee
Leave it alone, and it will grow All by itself, don't you know. Nature doesn't need us folk With our garden forks to fuss and poke. It's been around a lot longer than we, And will probably outlast our brief, sad spree. Sure, plants use animals. Birds, mammals, bees Can fit right into their strategies. That's why flowers smell good, and fruits have taste That make you eat and excrete the waste And plant the seeds somewheres else. They're clever, Those plants, and they'll probably live forever. So don't get so full of yourself. Your spade Is just a tool of the plant world's trade. |
