#ornamentals
in beds where flowers grow
well-kept, neat and clean
they've let the kale and cabbage go
it's rather a pitiful scene
they grew quite tall, they flowered
and then they went to seeds
now they're looking oh so cowered
they could be seen as weeds
their stems are gnarled and knotted
the ends are brittle brown
their roots will soon be rotted
the whole plant is dragging down
please someone be gentle
save them embarrassment
these lovely ornamentals
that once were so elegant
