Billy and Me

I have a plant growing in my yard It always keeps me on my guard I planted it outside my door Now I don't go out anymore. It started small but it grew fast Soon a shadow it would cast. I with held water, pruned it back But its rapid growing wouldn't slack. I just decided to pull it out When I heard it wail and shout "Oh, no, you dare not mess with me Or my next meal you will be." I am frightened and scared silly To make amends I named it Billy Billy and I get along all right It grows six inches every night So that's my tale, I swear its true I'd never, ever lie to you To grow your plants you must have stealth Gardening can be hazardous to your health
