HOW DOTH YOUR GARDEN GROW?
Behold the ever-present bee,
Facilitating fertility…
So how come few flowers
Have fruit in MY bowers,
My plants were missed unjustly!
–
Marigolds are turning out fine,
But cukes and “tomaters” have declined…
There aren’t enough bees
So pollination sees
Results abundantly and properly timed.
–
We hear that pesticides strike bees down,
Where little bees’ knees hit the ground…
Bacterial infection too
Has damaged the working crew,
While competition from hostile species abounds.
–
We humans have made our own mess,
Can’t spend enough money that nature resets…
Already made our bed,
Now sleep there one has said:
It’s too far gone to make proper redress.
