Visiting Botanical Gardens,
With flowers all in bloom,
Noticed all the wild names,
In Latin and Hebrew

Albeia Grandiflora?
Callicarpa Bodinieri?
Things I thought were just some flowers,
Not found in dictionaires.

I got a beep on my old pager,
(Forgot my cell-type phone)
It could be important!!
I had to go phone home.

We went into the office,
To find a phone that they might loan us,
They said they only had one,
A "Pay-coinus-telephonus"

Toe...funny you!  Perhaps it would be easier to talk to a flower?  They do listen, you know.

LOL cute! I always seem to laugh when I read your poetry..well you know what I mean

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.
