A House Plant Surprise
By Chandi Allen
We are really quite proud that you are not dead.
But instead you are bigger than two human heads!
We usually end up growing some shrooms.
But we really hope you continue to bloom!
You got so big, we had to switch pots.
Holy moly! Who would have thought?
Plants in this house usually last only days.
(Seriously, like eleven days maximum.)
But you, little plant, have truly amazed!
Thank you for lasting a whole year plus some!
I'm so happy - I practially want to buy rum!
(And also, quit laughing that this poem is so dumb.)

I can completely relate to this! That's why most of our plants are fake :) Congrats on keeping your plant alive!
What kind of plant is it? We need a hearty one! :)
nice. i just bought a basil plant named lucy. I hope she lasts!
I gave up on plants long ago.
Chandi thanks for the poem. You are seriously hilarious. Also good job on the plant. I am the worst at house plants. I can't keep them alive.
You are seriously so funny! Good job on the plant!!! And your little girl is so darling!!
