The Rusty Ladder And The Lovely Plants
The hibiscus complained
to the coleus,
“Why is there a ladder next to us?
So hazardous.”
The unpretentious coleus
not usually loquacious
mumbled
“Very disadvantageous
for our look.”
“Indeed incongruous .”
agreed the flower.
The mischievous ladder
eavesdropping on their talk
said,
“I add character to you both.
Once you were just plants
in a pot.
Now you are part of a scenario glamorous.”
