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

Albeia Grandiflora?
Callicarpa Bodinieris?
Things I thought were just some plants
Not found in dictionaries.

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 gift shop,
To find a phone that they might loan us
They said they only had one,
A "Pay-coinus-telephonis"

I take my hat off to anyone who can rhyme bodinieris! ---- Thanks for a laugh as usual.
