Scene of the Vine

The house down the street is under wraps
With hazard suits milling in its flaps

The one with the garden most luscious
Now being trampled beneath all the ruckus

The lady with the green thumb it's suggested
Has been by her Venus Fly Trap ingested




17.10.17

Composed for Kevin Shaw's
"Daft and Surreal"
