Julies Lament
I do not have a Pachypodium!
A plant my soul doth covet.
If you send a Pachypodium,
I promise that I'll love it!
I've raked the valleys, I've searched the hills,
I even checked at Wal-mart!
And not a single Pachypodium,
To ease my aching heart.
What caped crusader, what green-skinned hero,
What knight on noble steed?
Shall bring a Pachypodium,
To sate this hungry need?
Not swaying palms, not lilies fair,
Nor Roses by the bower...
Can replace a Pachypodium,
In this, my darkest hour.

And now for my Cactus Monday contribution...an idea that had come in my head during the week, and I knew I had to draw it out!
Good luck getting the kids all back to school!!!

Thanks for the compliments, but I'm really not a poet. I just occasionally make up silly rhymes...
