Kelly, Kelly

 

  Kelly, Kelly hot and smelly

  how does your garden grow

  no pesticides or fungicides

  and many rows to hoe

 

 

 

  Tomato worms and groundhog berms

  eating all your plants

  but it is keen to be green

  to take the Al Gore stance

 

 

 

  So toil away every day

  checking plants for bugs

  your reward is food to hoard

  despite those slimy slugs

    Liked how you took these two things and put them together in this spoof on Mary, Mary... cute. Easy to read and understand, neat bug picture too!

    Okay.

    You know some of those worms made for good fishing bait. There is a point however to your poem and nursery rhyme. A lot of good points although Al Gore should probably take his own advice. I long ago said that pesticides is what is making bees and other helpful pollenators more poisonous.

    The rhyme and meter of this poem are so pleasing and true to form (giggle... form... ) that I felt like I fell down the rabbit hole and landed right in the nursery rhyme book! A delight!
