Oh professor, sweet professor
on you our thoughts remain,
will you only water foliage
already blessed by rain?

You're defoliate in nature,
always reading labels out
before atomizing poisons
on struggling, seedling sprouts.

        Pssst, Pssst!

There is a botanical secret
that in arcana looms,
that when one sprays the weeds,
he oft' times kills the blooms.
