Tee hee heee!
I love that Santana song

Hello Columbine, my friend…
I've come to look at you again…
You're so pretty that I love peeping'
But you spread your seeds while I'm sleepin'
And the seedlings
That were planted in my bed
Turn my head
And leave me millions more…
I'm silenced

Sound of Silence, Simon and Garfunkel

Zoia well done!

Zoia!! As soon as I read the first line, I knew the tune! Good one!

Me too.
I saw Growing Thyme as an article title here and immediately thought of Closing Time, dont know the words well enough to take it further at the moment
Growing thyme,
One more call, no alcohol, just give me some water not beer..

Agree, me too. Now that's going to be on brain all day 👍

Thanks all! Hey, while we're on a Simon and Garfunkel streak…

Kodachrooooome!
Give me the nice bright flowers 🌺
Give me the dream of hours
Spent with my floral towers
Checking out the sunny day!

I got a nice new IPhone
I take the photos for a spin
Oh Winter don't take my Kodachrome away!

Winter don't take my Kodachrome
Keep your snow and ice storms home
Winter don't take my Kodachrome awayyyy…

Another hit!

Ibuprofen my old friend
I've come to talk to you again
Because the ivy that wa as sleeping
Started creeping and the en leaping
And the ivy
That was planted by the tree
Tried to eat me
So I battled
The ivy

(Work in progress... feel free to add )

LOL!!! Love the ibuprofen Sally! Especially on Monday morning. I've got shovel-soreness.

Another take:
CBD gummies my new friend
I'm chewing some of you again...

Some Willie Nelson tunes:

To all the blooms I've loved before
The plants went in and out my door
I'm glad they grew along
I dedicate this song
To all the blooms I've loved before

Maybe I didn't water you
All those thirsty, thirsty times
Maybe I didn't trim you
Quite as often as I should have
Little ones I could have fed and groomed
I just never took the time
But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind.

Sally G! Love it! Here's a finishing stanza suggestion…

Then the Ivy
That was planted by the tree
Went for me
So I dug up
The Ivy

That tracks with the tune pretty well. Love the first part, I have some ivy in a few places that I'm going to have to battle soon.

Haha Tiffany!

Zoia, that's better
.. I really do have ivy by a tree I need to get under control before its too late. Figuring I can get it rooted in a pot now and take out the in ground ones.

Gotta keep 'em propagated

Well east coast plants are hip, I really dig those flowers there
And the southern plants with big flower stalks, they knock me out when I'm down there.
The midwest farmers' gardens really make your dinner right
And the northern plants growing in the mist, they keep their gard'ners smiling bright

I wish they all could be growing in my urns
I wish they all could be blooming and unfurled

The west coast has the sunshine and the whorls grow big as planned
I dig a French zucchini and Hawaiian island oats by a palm tree in the sand
I've been all around this great big world and I've seen all kinds of fleurs
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in my place
Back to the cutest urns in the world

I wish they all could be growing in my urns
I wish they all could be blooming & unfurled

Thank you very much for the acorn, Lilli!

My pleasure! It's both clever and funny - what's not to like?

...and thank you for the

: ) My pleasure!

A couple songs about plant shoppping...

I just met you
And this is crazy
Your pricing number
I'll buy you maybe
- don't know this artist's name

I must've been through about a million plants
I'd buy 'em then I bring 'em on home
I'd see 'em there, "How much?", I cried, kind sir?
This weird little clone's coming home
I tooled around this seller's Brugs
I fooled around and fell in love
- Elvin Bishop

So I'd like to know where you got Mimosa?
So I'd like to know where you got Rugosa?
Cuz I flock to those, I flock to those, baby

About your house after a few too many (? nah...) trips to the plant stores

Oooga shaka ooga shaka ooga ooga ooga ooga shaka
I can't see the ceiling
Deep in jungle leaves
So, just please don't demonize
What they do for me
Please don't scold me
By the window light
Because I know
Plants are growing right

I - I - I - I - I got hooks on the ceiling
Plants are high and I'm feelin'
That you're in love with these

Snips so neat and dandy
In vases in a line
Sure sometimes they're thirsty
It's no bother, I don't mind
Got a plug of yew there
And not a weed for sure
I just propagated
Half a dozen more-ooore
And some good Brugs too babe
That smell like cologne
They'll be perking up soon
And be growing in my urn

I - I - I - I - I got hooks on the ceiling
Plants are high and I'm seein'
That you're in love with these

It's the good love
in the planting zone
And the ozone
from each leaf grown on

I - I - I - I - I got hooks on the ceiling
Plants are high and I'm feelin'
That you're in love with these
