A plant would be nice
to keep me company
One that did not
trigger my allergies
Page 2
My plant needed a name
an identity
I christened him “Bud”
It had a nice ring
Page 3
I watered my Bud
quite faithfully
He grew day by day
exponentially
Page 4
At the window each day
sat my Bud and me
Watching the world go by
In perfect harmony
Page 5
One day he bloomed
for everyone to see
All purple and green
My Bud, in full glory
Page 6
On Blooming Day
just like in a movie
a rich man strolled by
and froze like a statue
in awe of Bud’s beauty
Page 7
He offered me money
unlimited bounty
to take my friend, Bud
far away from me
Page 8
But the man didn’t know
about Bud’s history
See, Bud was an alien
from another galaxy
Page 9
While the rich man slept
My Bud went to work
taking over his brain
his mental capacity
Page 10
And that’s why today
we’ve finally achieved
desperately needed
equality
All thanks to
My Bud and me!
