Shrubbery Urgent

Shrubbery is critical for survival
An absolute emergency 
The most urgent crisis in existence
The human condition!  The human condition!  Think!
The most important thing in the universe!
Chant it one hundred times per night while chewing crackers
A chair is optional when morning comes
Contemplate due diligence, care, when sharing it
Tenderness is required at all times
Shrubbery is kind and wise
An absolute imperative is to love your shrub
Capital tools should be utilized when planting
Capital letters apply when writing SHRUBBERY
Slow enunciation, syllabification when speaking it is law
Improper elocution equals execution and sometimes death
Smile when pronouncing it
Whisper gently to it and it will answer back
“Bushes are bushes.” “Trees are trees.”  “We are Shrubbery.”
“Genuflect before each bush.”
“Respect your Shrubbery.”
