Book Fingers

I’ve not got green fingers

I look at a plant and it’s dead

I’d like to try it as a hobby

But, I think I’ll read a book instead

I never know whether to water liberally….

Or not?

The sun makes it grow, surely - when it is

 hot

Undernourished or overnourished ?

I’m not entirely sure

So, I’ll just stick with a book

Go for a lay down on the beach

I’m more familiar with the seashore.

With its vast array of grasses

That need no TLC

Only kisses from the Ocean

To help them grow gracefully
