ODE TO CAROL L

Carol L is a great garden guide

And she knows where to take you

From Chanticleer to Charles so dear

Scott and Morriss and Tyler too.

Carol L really knows her stuff

She speaks Latin in 3-part harmony

From trees and shrubs to pitcher plants in tubs

Every genus and variety.

Carol L has a true green thumb

A Master Gardener in the know

She exchanges seed and she helps you weed

And she wins at the Philly Flower Show.

Carol L loves flying things

All the birds and insects too

When her butterflies flutter

And she clicks that shutter

You will see the world anew.

Carol L has a heart of gold

As her friends can ascertain

She'll dig you a canna and a hardy banana

And her laugh's her claim to fame.

Carol L, you're a special one

You're so generous and true

As all around you can attest

We're so lucky

To.......know......you!!!!
