Orchids

The orchids in the Garden show,
So gorgeous, on display,
Must wonder what they’re doing there
In colorful array.

For it’s a long way off from where
They usually grow,
Where animals and insects
Are the creatures that they know.

Yet here the crowds come traipsing
To take photographs and gawk,
For orchids aren’t native to
The boroughs of New Yawk.

I’m sure they’d rather be back home
In jungle/forest setting,
But maybe they’re enjoying
The attention that they’re getting.
