Sewing the Seeds of Discontent

Perhaps a magic beanstalk would appear! 
I grinned and potted up the seeds;
I'd raid the giant's castle, drink his beer...
but by the dawn, I'd grown more weeds.

Reads like a good contender. Way to go. That would be a nightmare to go weeds instead of the magical bean stalk. Thanks for all the visits to my page. Sara
