Blooming Flowers

Blooming Flowers

I planted seeds in my greenhouse there

And tended them with loving care

With hope and pride I watched them grow

Protecting them from frost and snow

I fed and watered and watched them sprout
Until the first green leave popped out
The flowers bloomed and began to grow
So I planted a border in a long straight row

Then one day what did I see

There were big holes in every leaf

No flowers were there, the stalks were all bare

With some fat slimey slugs underneath!
