Every gardening writer rants
That it’s cozy to have plants
Stuck in corners, on the sill,
Decorating fit to kill.
They grow positively sobby
On the merits of the hobby:
How much friendlier by far
Homes with pots of posies are!
They tell how to cultivate–
Water, feed, and propagate.
So far I get; then, as the flames
Consume the book, this one exclaims:
Indoor Gardening, no dice!
Outdoor blisters quite suffice.
