Blessed be the Irish gardener Horticulture with a flair Genetic knowledge , engineered Through years, I do declare! I envy those with green thumbs With dirt beneath their nails Stone fences wrapping all their dreams Envelopes of Gaelic cells Wonder of this rich earth Pastels of poseys nod I couldn't grow a blossom Even with the help of God I reason with my jealous side To seed...I do abort This girl from Dixie doth confess "I couldn't grow a wort!" � Susan K. Rowse

This is dedicated to my Irish friends and my Scot friend , Kenny. I wrote this on on visiting the land of Ye ates and Wilde.
