Glads

You love African violets.
 
It was a surprise then
when you confessed a passion 
for gladioli,
 
(I will learn to live with them).
 
We bring home bunches from Walmart
-vivid, over-the-top floral giraffes.
 
They dwarf everything in the apartment,
 
but do provide shade 
   for the African violets.
