preempt snags
and leggy drags
by planting your figs in gladstone bags

rhubarb’s best
in a mulchy nest
of dimestore pulp from the old wild west

train wisteria
against the exterior
with public warnings against hysteria

treat begonia
for petal pneumonia
by blasting all night with a rusty euphonia

stop your succulents
from growing truculent
with regular readings from sunday supplements

protect your peony
from bugs if you see any
