Your Plants

Your plants will die if you don’t give
Them sunshine, air and water.
They need some nurture, like a greener
Pet or son or daughter.

When going on vacation, you
Must delegate a fill-in
Or else your sprouts won’t make it,
Even with some penicillin.

Be sure your proxy won’t forget
Or take the mission lightly
Because in just a few days’ time,
Some leaves may look unsightly.

And it would be a doggone shame
To come home from a journey
To find a wilted mess, just crying
Out for an attorney.

A little water’s all it takes
To keep your greens alive,
A welcome sight when travel’s done
And back home you arrive.
