Mussel Garden

I like to eat mussels
both in red and white sauce
I sometimes eat them with spaghetti
no matter what the cost

And then I always do something special
with the leftover mussel shells
I place them in the garden
where they look so awfully swell

The neighbors and the gardeners
don't know what to make of this
but it doesn't matter
it's my gardening bliss

Perhaps I'll start another garden
with clam shells all the like
It will brighten up my day
at a lesser price

Reduce, reuse, recycle. Love how you found a duel purpose for food. Eat the contents and use the shells for garden deco. It's definitely penny wise. Enjoyed your rhyme :-)
