From my forthcoming opus illustrated by Janet Kenny
Halloween Horticulture.
Our uncle, on the distaff side,
struck us all as rather crazy;
for more than twenty years he’d tried
to graft a head onto a daisy.
But then, one stormy Halloween,
notwithstanding that she ranted,
Auntie’s head was plainly seen
upon a daisy stem, transplanted.
Now we’re all happy and agreed:
Uncle was well motivated –
though sometimes Aunty goes to seed,
we can see she’s cultivated.
