Sir, Have You Seen My Lovely Garden

Sir, I do beg your pardon, I assure you this is not a pick up. But have you seen my lovely garden? It is a peaceful place to sup. Marigolds, zinnias, and wild buttercup Crepe myrtles, lilacs, a beautiful rose, Please sir, take a peek, when you wake up. If you prefer, you can simply repose. My green plants grow like weeds past my nose. They thrive all day, and into the sweet night. Some geraniums are practically up to my nose. My garden is unparalleled, a terrific sight. If you die tomorrow, do not have a care. You may think it is only plain jargon, Strangers lie under, plants grow from their hair. I would love to show you my magical garden.

Thank you. I liked doing this a lot, of course, being a secret killer of nothing, but thinking upon it for I did grow up on faerie tales.
