Ode to the Carnivorous Plant Grower
By: Doug
His mind full of happy CPs
His thoughts consumed by CPs
Drosera
Sarracenia
Darlingtonia
Nepenthes
Are a few of his favorite things.
He is consumed with carnivorous plants
Their oddities and beauty take his breath away.
The carnivorous plants take over
All he does is for carnivorous plants
Capturing their food instead of buying his
Giving them the best room of the house
Running humidifiers day and night
All he thinks about are his plants
How he could improve their growing habits
What role did they play in the whole scheme of things?
Did colonists use carnivorous plants?
He wonders.
They take over his speech.
Do you grow carnivorous plants?
He asks repeatedly
No? Pity they are very fun.
He replies to their Nos
He then beguiles them with his knowledge of CPs
Well he thinks that they benefit from this knowledge.
Unfortunately, his hobby separates him
People laugh,
Scurry away,
Avoid him,
And ignore him
Because of his obsession.
Yet he is blissfully ignorant
Going about his hobby
Going about watering
Going about feeding
Going about talking
Going about doing
All things carnivorous plants
Ode to the Carnivorous Plant grower
who is blissfully ignorant of the outside word, and loves his plants.
