The cars we have number twenty-five.
One is shaped like a royal bee hive.
Two are groovy, the blue one can certainly jive!
The red monster truck seems to be alive.
One is automatic and can self-propel-drive.
Jogger came by and asked my Cousin Chive,
Why are all these cars parked in front of that dive?
He chased him up the driveway in car twenty-five....

Nothing really hits the spot
like fresh-made veggie dip.
All those green and crunchy things;
it really is a trip.

There are always mushrooms, too,
to add a little zest.
Of course, they don't really crunch,
but I like them best.

I make my dip with sour cream
then add the mayonnaise,
garlic, onion and fresh chive;
it really does amaze.

Mnt and sage
Refreshing infusions through the age,

Bay leaves heighten any stew
Coriander for curry too!
Oregano in tomato rescipes
Lemon balm annoints the breeze;
No wood above the ground
In these plants can be found;
Neither a shrub ,nor tree
In our gardens ,growing free....

but the insightful something said: «A chive
can’t kill the stink of death». So ever since
I have been thinking what the something means
and what it meant… 
                             Don’t see some things up close
if your vocation is to scare crows....
