Flower Power-God's Must Be Crazy

There’s a prickly old man who seemed lazy
Yet while loafing he pushed up a daisy
And said with some practice
He’d force up a cactus
Just to prove that the gods must be crazy

David this had me laughing out loud. Love this take on the theme and the use of the much maligned Limerick in such a sharp way. Thanks for entering the contest.
