Ms. Butterfinger Trippytoes - Mistress of the Gardens






I wish,
I wish,
I wish,

no rain would fall on my garden ground
until all the grass was mown down
and
weeds heaped in a dreadfully high mound 
and
every plant was pronounced fit and sound
and
.
.
.




Phooey!
Shuck-ems!
Pfft!
Kaput!
.
.
.

Silly me
.
.
.
by then all that could be seen
of my once-upon-a-time leafy green
would be a Sahara desert scene
cause I'm stuck on impossible dreams
a master of disaster in jeans
















WHAT!
.
.
.
well sell me down the river,
stab me in the back,
bite my dagnabbit hand
.
.
.
the thesaurus is bluntly unkind
to us mismanagers of our fingers
entering into that cute little search box
the
word
klutz
.
.
.
and
I
am 
a
moronic
imbecilic
nincompoopie
ignoramus
of
loser
whose
a
yokel
numskull 
hayseed
half-wit
simpleton
.
.
.
I'm going to pretend
I don't know how
this collection
of
concrete disaster
showed up
in
my
driveway




Kitty loves me
and
that's good enough.

  1. You've created a kitty sanctuary out there and it is beautiful!! Concrete will rise again another day. No worries.

  3. They love you no matter the foibles, real or imagined. I think your garden looks lovely and I especially like the paths and wrought iron fencing.
