The Rose Garden
Melanie chopped down the trees
(Not by herself, of course)
That Jackie planted, just so she
Could get on her high horse.
The critics all swooped in to say
It’s “empty,” “cold,” and “white,”
Replacing all the flowers
That were colorful and bright.
My favorite comment goes like this:
(Or something thereabout)
“Who switches up their garden when
They’ll soon be moving out?”
