Drowning Ivy
Here she comes again with that dingy pink watering can
I’m soaked as it is; I’ve tried to tell her, STOP WATERING!
But no, thirsty or not, I’d better get ready for it
Now Lily doesn’t mind, Peace Lily, that is, she drinks a lot
And that’s her business but I’m turning brown down to the roots
Hey Lily, wake up girl; I don’t like to talk but, PASSED OUT AGAIN!
As for me, is a little soil test too much to ask for?
It’s a bit ticklish, a finger in a sensitive spot
But she’d know that we are all not thirsty at the same time
Well, for now, back to her favorite game, DROWNING IVY!
