Drink, drank, drunk. Poor thing. Not sure feeding the tender thing whiskey is medicinal. No hope, better give it a proper burial in the garden and let God water it.

What a cute story. I love poems that rhyme. I also like poems that make me giggle. So I appreciate that this poem does both! I actually do use a mixture of 50% alcohol/water with a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide to kill mold and fly mites on my houseplants. :) The hydrogen peroxide really perks them up too, for some reason. The theory is that it provides a lot of oxygen to the leaf-cells.

Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
What a clever fun poem and such a worthy contest entry.
Each stanza is complete in itself and yet flows so freely into the next.
Although there is no image I can visualise it from your words.
Good luck in the contest.
Blessings

Oh Shirley there was a picture, but it gave me grief when altering the font. Glad you enjoyed the wee verse and thank you for your review.
Comment from pome lover
well, I'm sure your plant died happily, if a bit premature, and probably not frisky. Did you choose this contest specifically because you aren't a gardner? or because it was a challenge? Whatever the reason, the ending was a funny surprise, which is always enjoyable. Good job.

Thanks Katherine. I am not a gardener our property does not sport one .My husband had three plants on the dining room table until recently which drove me silly despite my love for orchids. Hence the poem.
