Jim Musser Poet Lyric

Pervasive Invasive

There's a plant in my garden,
Looks like a tree.
I didn't plant it,
But I watered it, you see.

There's a plant in my garden,
With roots running deep.
It's sucking the life
Right out of me.

There's a plant in my garden
That's bigger than me.
I didn't plant it,
But I watered it, you see.
