Question: Are you a gardener!?
The garden
by C!.S!. Scotkin
I, for one, can’t wait to see
what Martian soil will bear for me,
when working there for all the hours,
will it bear fruit or will it bear flowers!?
What a day! O what a treat!
Souls nourished by our good, red wheat
Ovens of feelings and thoughts shall bake
Bread, cookies with stars and a big plum cake!.
Then shall we all, with one accord,
invite the world, across the board,
be us the leaven, O be us the yeast
raise up the spirits, now start the feast!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The gardens that we plant on Mars,
Their likes not found up in the stars!.
A cabbage twice like that on Earth,
The size of reindeer at their birth!.
Potatoes grow to football size,
They have red skin and deep blue eyes!.
We'll plant our gardens, plant them deep,
And they will grow while we're asleep!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Can you plant some limes
and grow some sugar cane too
then gather some salt
and I'll bring a pot to brew
I'd love fun in a faraway place
and I'm so tried of this d@mn place
so I'm gonna try and make a case
that I'd like a margarita too!.
!.!.!.and yea, I'll bring the ice!.
pretty good space traveler!.!.!.
and if the soils not good
we'll just find another planet!.
we'll get some worms from
the worm hole!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Wonderful!
To answer your question:
I plant stuff
in the ground,
it grows,
we eat it!.
I plant flowers
and water
and weed them,
I am a gardener
of the community sort
invitation open
to two feet
and four
Now that you mention it, I wonder how the soil is on mars!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Sounds delish! sure I'll be there,
but what to bring!? *tears out her hair*,
For I am anything but dumb,
yet cursed I am with this brown thumb,
the thought of feasting turns me numb
if I bring nothing to share!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
