Mysterious Pot Plants

Mysterious pot plants





There’s a garden with some pot plants in the rain

I sit here and wonder what the colours mean and names

Because there’s too many to remember but some colours are the same

Yellow ones and purple ones and orange ones like small flames

Red ones and white ones and blue ones in the summertime they came

Some flowers grow old after the cold comes and whither in the strain

But evergreens keep on flowering because they are hardier than the petals that fall in vain

So all year round there are flowers to please your eyes and tantalize your brain

There’s a garden with some pot plants in the spring summer autumn and winter I proclaim

But what really baffles me is that I’m sure at night when I’m asleep someone comes and 
moves them again and again and again.
