The broccoli, leeks, and parsley
Popped out of the box pretty easily
And into the ground they went
And a new fabric tent was built
Because the wind was blowing
And the worms were present
On a neighbor's overwintered cabbages.
The broccoli planted three weeks ago
Hasn't grown an inch, nor the leeks or chard.
The soil is dry, despite the day's rain
And the Fed hasn't turned the water on.
