Mole Finds His Eyes and Plants Potatoes

Mole would have been a gardener,
but he just couldn’t see.
He was consigned to dig and dig
and wander aimlessly.

But then a woodland faerie
popped him upon the snout,
gave him a bulbous brownish thing,
told him to let it sprout.

She said, when you can feel the shoots,
then cut it into chunks,
and bury them deep in the ground,
and wait a couple months.

He didn’t quite believe her,
but much to his surprise,
that idaho did start to grow,
and now he’s got his eyes.

LOL Jeff. He probably got a few more eyes than he needed, but at least he now has sight. Your writes are always entertaining... at least those that I comprehend.

It is possible my muse has multiple personalities - not really ever sure what's going to show up. Thanks for the read and I'm glad you enjoyed!
