Gardening

An Incredible Gardener…
Jim was a gardener incredible
With anything green, brown and edible
He knew what was brewing
Knew what he was doing
With seeds, pods and bulbs that were beddable.
By some clever means
And by fiddling their genes
With a switch of their cellular systems
He induced brand new features
Into vegetable creatures
- Hang on just a mo’ and I’ll list ‘em.
There were turnips with eyes
Of an overweight size
And carrots with ears made for listening
And a leek that would speak
Three times every week
And a cabbage that couldn’t stop whistling.
Soon his name achieved fame
And to world-wide acclaim
His peers could do nothing but gape
For against all the Regs
All his plants sprouted legs
And he soon had a marrow escape.
